It has not stopped raining since December. Usually in the stinking hot Colonies in summer it is... stinking hot! But this year we have had month after month of rain. Each day the news shows us another poor township succumbing to the flood waters that seems to be spreading their tentacles wider and wider. I feel for those going through it the first time and those that have just gotten back on their feet ot have it happen again - my own parents lost eveything in the great 1955 flood in our own region and I still hold on to some old family photos that are encased in the mud that covered everything during that awful event.
Mother nature can be a bitch as she reclaims her right to rule this planet. As much as we need the water we now have too much and many people are suffering from their huge losses and also losses to their businesses - our local toruism industry has taken a beating. I know this personally with having to cancel a number of my tours over the last few weeks due to the rains.What can you do.Just sit and wait it out.
