Tropical Deluge - Round 1

thanks Rob. We here in Troncones are watching the winds and rains. Very strong.

We seem to have more of these torrential downpours than ever before. Rains like today that cause almost instant flooding thanks to all our paved streets whose only drainage is the street itself. This deluge caused the canal “La Boquita” to overflow, but the rain stopped just in time as the water began to rise here on our corner. A few more minutes of deluge and we’d have been seeing if the flood panels in our doorways worked. Whew! That was a close one.

The rain is much lighter now but is expected to continue at least through midnight.
