Alright so today was pretty much like any other day, but not really. You see about mid day most of us were up by the kitchen getting ready to do some work around base. It was pretty windy I suppose, but nothing more then what we normally have, and yet it managed to cause quite a problem for the base.
As we were hanging around we heard this loud noise from around the corner of the kitchen and a large dust cloud appear. Upon peaking around the corner we saw a large tin roof flipping up in the air and another small piece of tin roof go flying across the field. Without thinking we all began to run down to the scene because it was the roof of the preschool, which was full of preschoolers. All we could do while running was hope and pray everyone was alright. It turns out that all the preschoolers had been inside so a roof falling on the ground outside was of no consequence, other than them having no roof anymore. By the time we had gotten to the preschool, the kids were already outside…laughing, finding it very funny what had just happened to their building, seemingly unaware of what could have been. It was a miracle that everyone was able to come out of it safely.
So the rest of the day was spent trying to clean up some of the mess and moving the preschool materials to another building on the base. The kids probably thought this was all great, they got a few days off because of it. All in all it was an interesting thing to see happen, not quite normal. As for us we got to tear down the preschool as it was just in bad shape, this consisted of breaking the outer walls off with hammers and then literally pushing the building over, that was fun. Just another adventure here in
