Honduras was hit by flooding recently. A local newspaper La Prensa reported on the floods at El Progreso and La Lima around San Pedro.  There has been a total of 44 communities affected with floods and landslides, 23 lives lost, over 4000 houses affected, 13,000 people in shelters.  total of 129,000 people affected in Honduras.
At El Progreso the school flooded, 4 families from the church at Berlin had the water in their homes and 5 of the school children's homes had the water all the way up to their windows.
Areas where we have churches and which has been affected in our district #5 of Yoro, which is the mountain areas around Yorito.  I talked to Modesto a few minutes ago and he says there are 86 families sleeping on the highway in the mountains a lot of them from our churches. The mountains started to slides because of the water saturation.  Modesto says the roads are blocked to vehicles, and getting in is dangerous.  The communities from (our dist #5) which have been evacuated are:

1) El Plan (most affected by land slides)
2) Los Higueros
3) Higuero Quemado
4) El Plantel
5) Vallecillo
6) Mina Onda
7) La Patastera
8) El Panal  (New church)

Other communities affected are La Sabana in Yoro, several families from the church has been evacuated.
Here at Atlantida we have been getting a lot of rains today.  When I talked to pastor Migue Martinez at Nueva Armenia today he said the village was flooded, his house was not flooded.  The water was about 4 inches from coming in.  We pray it will not come all the way up in to his house and the church.   The roads are out which give access to the Rio Viejo area, Toncontin and El Paraiso.
These people will be needing food, clothes, blankets, etc...  A lot of crops in Honduras have been lost.Thank you, and God bless, Sandy
