It has been a constant downpour for 3 days of torrential rain! I just walked to the Botagona(the grocery store here) with my Italian and Korean friends and the roads were like small rivers. In the city, everything is cement and there is nowhere for the water to flow. My house mom, Teresa, is constantly mopping up the house since it is partially outside, but the rain just keeps coming. The lights are flickering right now and the power has gone off several times today. The water is also coming through the cement walls in my room! I can’t imagine how some families without adequate houses deal with this kind of weather. Oh! The electricity is off again.
Although we felt prepared to walk to the store with our rain jackets and umbrellas, 5 minutes into the walk we were soaked from head to toe. I just heard we are experiencing a hurricane. No wonder we didn't see others outside!
