I needed to shave my legs and wash up a bit but it was raining to hard to get to the bathroom so I did it in the hallway with the rain from the gutter.
Here I am standing in our street, this was the first night that the flooding started to happen in our town. Just down the road people's homes were full of water and they lost everything.
And this is Edgar letting the water spash, from the cars racing down the street, into our home.

Two months after we moved to Honduras it rained super hard, and it ended up flooding our house - 3 inches or more of water just flowing in the fornt door and out the back door.
I wrote about it here http://followingmycatracho.blogspot.com/2009/01/following-advice-or-not.html
Everyone kept telling me that they would have been mad, I couldn't stop laughing - I think in disbelief, LOL.
At the end of September my husband hired a bunch of neighborhood guys to help him dig a ditch on the other side of the road so that *if* it wree to rain like that again, our house wouldn't flood. And he also added some blocks to the front passway onto the porch so that if it did rain like that again, it wouldn't come in the house. Thank God he did that, that Saturday. The following Monday it began to rain, and it rained pretty much non stop for 5 weeks (all of October and the 1st week of November). There were plenty of close calls, but the water never made it in the house again.
The funny thing is though, that it had never flooded the entire time that we have owned that land - 6 years - so we were suprised when we got flooded.
