1. Neither Honduras nor Guatemala can take another hurricane

The mudslides are horrific. Mexico. Jamaica and Cuba got hit pretty hard as well. There has been significant loss of life already from Zeta and Eta.

2. Florida looks safe thank goodness

Broward county is flooded and more rain their would not be good.

3. When I went off the diving island

to go into Honduras to see the country on our way to Copan it was amazing to see how the clear cutting had made the mountains sheer mud or dirt. The little houses that all had their yards planted in coffee were only temporary because when the rain came they knew they could lose it all. Mountain after mountain of dirt and mud all down the sides we saw and above little houses full of families. It terrifies me to this day thinking about what a mudslide would be like and I worry about those people from so long ago.

8. That happened here last week as well

The coffee crop is almost completely gone.

6. I have been a little hit and miss

around here the last couple of weeks but knew about this. What I did not know was all the areas that were affected by it. Are you OK?

9. We are always lucky but many folks lost homes crops and livestock

not to mention roads and bridges. The loss of life here was way less than in Guatemala and Honduras.

12. So glad you were lucky again.

Still, that has to be horrible to live through.

7. Zeta did immense damage here in the north Georgia mountains

We were without electricity for more than 80 hours. 2020 will not be remembered fondly, except for the Biden/Harris triumph.

5. Soon There Will No Longer Be.....

a "Hurricane Season". They will occur all year long. Call me when we get to Omega.

11. You know I read a report suggesting that there will be more out of season

hurricanes. Word is that our rainy season will continue until January. That would be devastating. We can't handle another drop.
