this is a great report, good job
I really felt like I was there with you, under your umbrella. Hope all your loved ones are safe and sound.
Hey...
Thanks. Yes, everyone's safe. Unfortunately, and like always, the biggest sufferers are the slum dwellers and the ones on the lower poverty zones. The rest just suffered damage of their properties...
For instance, one of my friends said that he had to walk in neck deep dirty water for 5 hours before he reached home... and then he found everything in his house soaked and floating...!
I can't imagine what that would be like to have that happen here.
Thanks for showing us this!!
