...and it rained for 40 days and 40 nights...

I'm starting to appreciate how Noah felt now! This rain is unbelievable! The president was on the news last night addressing the nation about the rain and the problems it is causing - there are many! Major flooding, roads being washed away, unpassable, houses being destroyed. We have just had a phone call now from our boss Silvia. She is in San Pedro this weekend and has called us to check we are ok with all this rain. Apparently in San Pedro, the rain is so bad and the flooding so high that people are having to move out of their houses, and roads are being washed away. She was concerned for us bless her! Here it is very wet but not that bad - yet! They apparently may turn the electricity off and when the water tanks get too full they turn the city water off too (hence why we had no water yesterday!) I think all the mud banks, shingle and water trenches outside our house are going to be a blessing to us in terms of our house staying dry! My car is in the garage as we speak having the 4WD fixed - thank goodness. So at least we'll be able to get around. Silvia told us that in SP people are rushing out to buy food because delieveries can't be made - she told us to do the same, but we'll see. She said it like a hurricane but people have had no warning so could not prepare their houses.

Here is a link to the National Hurricane Centre, the depression really is right over Honduras!! Please pray for us in our house, for our friends and for Honduras. That this weather system moves on and we all remain safe!
