Rain continues to fall daily and continues to drench this rain-soaked country. Roads and bridges have been washed out. A huge place on the road from here to Tegucigalpa has washed out, creating a trafflic nightmare.
This afternoon a deluge of rain fell. A huge amount of rain fell in a short amount of time, flooding many areas. The rain fell so hard and fast a wall at the national stadium collapsed, killing one taxi driver and crushing some other cars. Other people were injured. The road around the stadium was blocked and all roads leading to the stadium were closed as thousands were trying to get there to see the damage.
Rosy's school is just a couple of blocks from the national stadium. We were beside ourselves. Dorian talked to the school and learned the bus driver had left on the route. Traffic must have been horrible all over town as the bus did not arrive today until 4:00. I usually circle the stadium of a morning when I take Rosy to school. Of course, we are mapping out an alternate route to school.
I am sure there is much more damage than what we know at this time. As rains continue to fall tonight, please keep this tragic situation in your prayers.

Goodness, it seems if it is not one thing there it is another for the people to endure. Keeping the people of Hondurous in our prayers as they deal with the rain. In this part of the USA rain would be such a blessing but not so there at this time. linda
