Another dreary winter day in the altiplano as we ride out Tropical Storm ..It is hard to believe that a storm that has caused so much damage doesn't even get a name? It rained in earnest starting on Tuesday night and continued until about midday. It barely drizzled last night but it looks like the rain is starting again this afternoon. They expect it to continue until Saturday. Thankfully, I live up in the mountains and we have only seen minor damage to power lines and roads from washout. But the situation in the rest of the country is grim, with Pacific coast communities and even other areas of Xela seeing roads and bridges washed out, rivers overflowing, landslides and flooding.
Huddled up in the house sipping hot chocolate with the puppy, it could be a lot worse and I'm thankful that my community has been spared the debilitating damage caused in other parts. However, can't help feel a little bit of the rainy day blues.
Include Guatemala in your thoughts and prayers today, they're going to need it.
