Mini Grand Canyon from Huge Rain Storm

Last night was a huge rain storm. Lots of loud thunder and lightning.So very very glad we changed rooms because I saw where we were staying and there is a huge puddle on the floor and the bed and pillows are soaked.

There was a smaller rain storm a few weeks ago and rain came in the room and I knew there were problems. 

It would have been awful, especially for Angel. Here a little rain came in the window but we just moved the bed a bit and all was well. There was a little water on the porch but there is a curtain that blocked a lot of it so I am really really happy we faired really well. It was a ton of water.

Mucho lluvia!!
 
It is the 4th time they have been hit with a big storm like this this year. That is what Ivan from Orale told me today. Passed him on the beach today as they were heading to the hardware store, they had to close and do a bunch of clean up.

Remember my photos of last week, all the people playing in the lagoon...well it's the grand canyon now. Check out my video and photos below.

Lights and Internet & Stormy Night

I have been having a hard time posting because the lights were out yesterday and the internet was out afternoons in a row...that is life in Mexico. It has been really hot... 33 C. everyday more or less. Today and yesterday are cooler because of the big thunder, lightning and rain last night.

Angel found it disturbing to be disconnected and no power but I told her it is totally normal for the power to go out. It has been like this for the last 30 years since I have visited.

Remember there was an big earthquake down here in Oaxaca and a tropical storm Ramon. Many places have big issues. I heard Salina Cruz and Juchitan, the government is trying to help but it all moves slowly here. 

I was worried about all the food in the fridge going bad. We need to get a little cooler so we can quickly throw everything in and buy ice. I bought the ice but the freezer did melt and a few things in there.

They are replacing lines, I saw that the other day when I was walking.

In Vancouver if the power was going to be out they would make a big announcement and warn everyone but nothing here.

They need a big community page or an app that everyone can check. Maybe they put it on the radio. I know lots of people listen to radio here. Angel found the radio weird. I had to explain they put on commercials and then the music or program. That pays for it.

I heard there are lots of issues about the water here too. The people pay but no water is coming. They have rain water stored in tanks but the stuff that actually comes in pipes from the city or ?? isn't coming or rarely comes.

In Vancouver people would freak out if there was no water for more than a day. Keep this in mind and be very very grateful for all that you have. So many others do not enjoy the luxuries you have.

Okay take care, I will write when I can. Been super hot and last night was a wicked rain storm in San Salvador is a Tropical Storm Selma, say prayers for all affected. Thankfully the new place we moved to is nice and dry and we were safe.

Hasta luego.
Cristina y Angel

Prayer for Hurricanes
In the name of the all- powerful Creator
I invoke you, great Angel Zamiel,
As the Angel of Hurricanes,
To calm the fury of this terrible storm.
May you divert it from it's path from the most vulnerable places
to blow itself out where few can come to harm
I honor and thank you for hearing my prayer
In the name of the Almighty.
