Hurricane Matthew did not dump the predicted rains on Honduras. But the amount of devastation in this country is great.
Here in Santa Ana, it rained three inches Saturday, three Sunday and two yesterday. It has rained unendingly, without even a brief pause. The rain should continue today and move out tomorrow. Everything is wet. Even the air is saturated. Inside our house, our clothes, bed linens and towels feel damp as we use them. People who don't have good houses have everything they own soaking wet, not just a little damp. They are bound to be cold.
The pictures in the paper yesterday showed flooding and damage in every part of the country. Many pictures showed people in waist-deep waters trying to get their belonging out or some food in to their families. The pictures were heart-breaking.
Roads continue to worsen with huge potholes and washouts. I can't see there being enough money to every get all these roads fixed.
There is still four to six weeks of rainy season left. The entire country is weakened and vulnerable to further damage. Many crops are already ruined. Prayers are still needed for this country.
