Hurricane Update

Dear Family,
It looks like Hurricane Felix went about right over the top of us. Our house held together fine, but it was creaking sometimes. Thanks to the cement bottom, it was solid. We lost almost all the trees all around our house, now it looks like it has been clear cut.
In Tronquera village two houses collapsed, and one very large church (Moravian). No one was hurt. Now comes the rain. Already the nearby creeks are higher than we have ever seen them, and the rain will come for sometime more. Fortunately, our house and the village are on high ground.
Food will be a concern for the whole village in the next few days and weeks (maybe months). We hope to use some resources to purchase some if there is any available and bring it here. I am sure most of the plantations are decimated.
We are thankful our house is standing and our radio antenna is still up!
Thank you for your prayers,
Clint and Marilyn
