On Friday, due to the tropical depression that has been hovering over El Salvador and surrounding Central American countries for the last week, President Funes declared a State of Emergency.
The following statistics have been reported as of this morning:
· 27 dead due to mudslides and flooding
· 130 plus shelters set up throughout the country
· almost 14,000 people in shelters
FYI, all PCVs have been accounted for and our Standfast continues until further notice.
Therefore,Hinkle and I will continue medicating our cabin fever with movies and popcorn and speculating about when the rain will pass and being thankful that we are not near a river or trapped and hungry like our dear friend Helen on a mountaintop b/c her road is washed out. Stay strong girl.
