Hurricane Adrian

Chaos.
No one in this country has any idea what that is like.
We have seen documentaries of Huricane Andrew back in 1992 and you could just see palm
trees flying, building getting ripped of their bases, cars, floods, people...

No light, no water, canned food, shelters... the recipe for disaster. Sounds like the
perfect movie. Watching it from 400 miles away. You would get some minor rains,
and you would feel the solidarity with those in the Caribbean or Miami.

Now its our turn... in the last 120 years (which I think is a made up number, cause I don't think people kept track of this 120 years ago in here) the first hurricane ever.

Huricane Adrian, scale 1, in whatever scale you measure hurricanes, is hitting directly El Salvador's territory from the Pacific Ocean. Everything is National Emergency Code Red
mainly, because nobody knows what to expect.

We have advantages and disadvantages over those countries with normal hurricane season.

For example in urban areas, around 90% of the houses are made of brick, not wood.
Covers, shelters, garages are made of metal... not wood.
However, we have more poverty and people who don't even have decent place to live except that made of cardboard and plastic... and they will even be more affected.
It's not good, and uncertainty is filling everyone's heart.

We know perfectly what to do in case of an earthquake, we feel them at least once every month. We know what to do in case of war, we lived it for 12 years, although we have forgotten how terrible it was. And now, for the first time we have a warning of something that is coming... but what is that? how terrible it is? how will it affect us? is it the wind? is it the rain?

Let God take care of us, as He has always had and let's hope the damage is not as bad as we see it in documentaries... and if it is... let humanity have mercy for us and help us reconstruct what is left of it.
They are evacuating us from the office right now. I am going home.
