Rain, Flooding, Mudslides

It started raining last Thursday and, although it isn't raining hard all the time, it has been more or less continuous.  As a result, the ground is saturated, the rivers are very high and there have been some mudslides and flooding.  

Here are some pictures from the last two days

The Department of Education called off school today so that parents/kids don't have to be out on the roads.  As usual, this is causing the most trouble in the rural areas.  Here in the city we are waterlogged, but not seriously affected.

Unfortunately, here is today's weather radar for Central America.

Please pray for the rain to stop--it is continuing today and the longer it rains the more serious the situation will become.  You may remember that four years ago we had a similar situation, with rain for more than a week.  At that time over 50,000 people were displaced due to flooding, bridges and roads were washed away.  I distinctly remember it because we were out of school for 6 days in a row due to the fact that, nationally, many school buildings were converted into shelters.
