things took a turn for the worse last night. latest counts in the country:
20 dead.
3500 homeless
48 hours of rain
still no electricity.
small and large bridges down.
we are all just fine out here in the highlands. it's all the rain that landed on the southern side of the mountain range that has flowed down south and the rivers and towns are all flooded. it's still raining, so hopefully it'll stop soon and we can all dry out.
