Floods

7/1/2008

Unusually heavy rains for the last week. Several areas in the North-West of Timor have experienced landslides and floods.
Liquica market, five kilometres from our home, is a sobering scene of ruin. The overflowing river has wiped away several houses and damaged the market's permanent structures. A couple of electrical poles are down, those of us to the West of Liquica will likely be without power for a week or so.

The damage may not be dramatic in scale, but to those who don't have much, it is significant.
I'm worried.
