| Heavy Rains Cause
Damage Near La Ceiba
By Shane Cooper
Here
is a special report about some of the destruction caused in some
of the towns near La Ceiba by harsh rains .Several homes were
destroyed by the flooding. People lost their homes, land and many
other belongings.So many people are scared of every rain that
falls in their areas because of sudden floods.
The rains have become more and more intense due to problems related
to the ozone. In the past, it usually rained just a few inches
a day during a period of several days; and now, we sometimes receive
what was usually a weeks worth of rain in one or two days.
Towns like Nueva Armenia that are built having the ocean on its
North side and a river that runs along the East side, makes it
one of the towns that are most subject to sudden floods.
After a recent storm that caused grate damage in Nueva Armenia
and neighboring areas, Pastor Santos Elvir and I
took a trip out there with the purpose of finding out the magnitude
of the situation. The news we brought back was absolutely astonishing.
There had bin water in homes above levels that were not even cause
by the hurricane Mitch back in 1998.
We then gathered some of the goods sent down from the Alabama
Christmas container and purchased some basic food items to take
back to the people who had the greatest needs.
