rain, rain, it will stay… until January!

As much as we would like the rain to go away, this news article says it will stick around until January.

The ground is already saturated and all the excess water makes a treacherous course down the mountains and hills, causing landslides in its wake. Much of the coffee and sugar cane crop has suffered terribly due to the rain, so this prescription of rain until January is more than bad news.

Read this article and join me in prayer for the people here in Honduras.

These pictures below are from the article and show some of the patterns and movement. Don’t ask me to explain them… I am just relaying the information!

Honduras is affected by the phenomenon of rain has already happened in the 50’s.

A phenomenon called the Pacific Decadal Oscillation has distorted the thermohaline circulation and is producing more rain than they should.

The country is practically in the line of hurricane formation and climate affect Pacific and Atlantic.

Please pray – Hurricane Matthew is on the way!

Reports vary, but somewhere between tonight and tomorrow we are supposed to see Hurricane Matthew show up here in Honduras.

I’m not sure how much longer I will have power, but with the ground already saturated from an unseemly amount of rain during this rainy season, there will surely be flash floods and landslides.

Pray especially for those who have houses on mountains and precarious places… and for those without shelter.
