I don't have a tv or any regular access to the Moroccan weather forecast but I know when we're expecting a storm of some sort because everyone in town is up on their roofs adding plastic and mud. Even so, many roofs still manage to leak. You see, our roofs aren't slanted...they're perfectly flat. So this winter, being mild compared to last year's, I think my landlord may have overlooked the repairing of my roof. Oops. After the first couple of days of rain I had a leak or two in my house. It really wasn't a big deal. But then the snow came and it melted and then came over a week of nonstop rain. Always raining...aywa. So my one or two leaks turned into 10 leaks in each room. I had to move all my belongings from my bedroom/living room beacuse I woke up to the sound of water dripping onto my blankets. I couldn't find a large enough dry spot in which to put my poor ponj(aka bed). My computer was also covered in water that morning. I couldn't stand anywhere in my kitchen without getting dripped on. So I moved into my dry room. Hamdullah for the dry room. A lot of families have the same problem. Oftentimes they re-mud one room very well so that they have atleast one dry room in the house.
Anyways, my house is now dry and being repaired but I thought I would just share some of the problems that people in my town ofter encounter in the wintertime...
