It sounds terrible

Hurricane Stan has dumped large amounts of rain in the Central America/Mexico regions. They were saying that areas west of Guatemala City are dealing with extremely high flood waters and mudslides. I pray that babies, mothers, citizens are safe and warm. It sounds like getting help to affected areas is being hampered by roads blocks by mudslides. President Berger has declared a state of emergency in many areas. Please pray that all will be safe.

After watching CNN and the nightly news, the pictures are truly humbling. Huge amounts of rain, mudslides still happening. Whole towns might be under as much as 40' of mud. I pray for everyone there, citizens, rescuers, etc. It looks pretty rough right now for alot of people.
