geography lesson;

weather forecast;
today - rain
tomorrow - more rain
next day - still more rain
day after that - you guessed it - it will rain
ditto for the near future
I think the dry season has ended now!

Apparently, the reality is that when it rains heavily, houses can come down. The foundations of buildings are not strong, and they are built into the hillside. So, the rain can bring down whole buildings causing injury and at times, deaths. Roads wash out, leaving people walking everywhere, and an already difficult lifestyle becomes even more burdensome. And yet, they smile and carry on! I wish you could meet them....they are quite wonderful!
