The storm

The rain just kept coming and coming. I didn't start to worry until the water in the street started coming over our sidewalk and the family said they had never seen rain like this before. The emergency vehicles were everywhere trying to save people and their belongings. We turned on the tv to our local station. They were having people call in with their address, asking for help and the station would ask anyone with a truck to get out and help people. It really was a scary night!!!

Edgar and I walked down to this area the night before. The water was past our waist. They had backhoes trying to dig trenches to let the water drain into the river. This is a picuter of the next morning.

One of the reasons for the floods is that people throw their trash everywhere and it clogs the draining canals. I truly hate the garbage here. People just don't care about the environment.

We found many car wash places trying to wash people's furniture after the storm.

This man was trying to save his banana trees.

Scary enough this bridge is still here and it's a frightening experience to walk across it
