Monsoon Season: Part II

So today a thunderstorm started while we were in church. When you look at this, you'll understand why I now feel stupid for being impressed by the pictures in the previous post! Thankfully the water was not this bad when we were driving home, although there were a couple of parts of the main road that were completely flooded.

Although the sidewalks are more than covered, fences have been knocked over, and small cars driving down the streeet look more like boats, people seem to be enjoying the flood. I keep seeing the same huge truck driving back and forth, enjoying the torrents caused by the wheels (pictures below), and yes, those are kids in their swimsuits behind that fence, and we even saw a couple of kids tubing down the street when we pulled up at the house, but unfortunately they left before I got the camera out. We just put together some major 72-hour kits last weekend, so we are mostly prepared for disasters like this, should it get any worse. Maybe I'll go put the finishing touches on the backpacks just in case...




















































































Sorry about the weird spacing, we can't fix it!
