IMPACTO: Guatemala Flooding Update
Update on flooding in Guatemala: In past 6-7 days, close to 30 inches of rain have fallen across Guatemala. The areas hardest hit are the eastern and Departments (Departments are like States) and this includes the lake area, Coban and Zacapa. The roads are pretty bad and there are many mudslides. Some folks in San Juan (Lake Atitlan) had to be removed because the water beside Shalom Church has gotten so high. They are being housed in the gymnasium in San Juan. No docks are available in the San Juan, San Pedro area because the lake has risen so high. Some rivers in Zacapa are high and out of their banks but San Jorge and El Morro are safe thus far. Weather report is that rain should be ending late this week and a cold front is coming in behind the stalled storm fronts. This means the homeless will suffer from the low temperatures. Please keep this situation lifted in your prayers. Thank you.
