Massive flooding in areas of Mexico that rarely get rain has displaced thousands in Acuna Coahuila where I lived and in Piedras Negras where I rode with the Piedras Negras Falcons M.C. My wife just talked to a lady that lived across the street from us and she said one home was washed away and the rest flooded. The Rio Grande is over thirty feet above normal levels in Piedras. This means many of My buds homes are flooded there. The General Hospital in Acuna is near the river and must be flooded by now.
The Mayor of Piedras went on a recon flight to access the damage, his plane reportedly exploded in mid-air killing all six aboard. Torrential rains have pounded the desert between the Rio Grande and the mountains farther inland that trapped them. The Amistad Dam in Del Rio is releasing a lot of flood water,this meeting the flow from the mountainous regions is wreaking havoc and more rain is coming in from the gulf.
Senora Phillipa is a poor woman that My wife befreinded. It was her house that was washed away. It was built of pallets and tin on the banks of the tributary. Her house was behind the homes of our neighbors across the street nearer the water. She was a widow that had lost everything and built her hovel on public land out of sight. I have no figures on the number of displaced but it must be into the tens of thousands as flooding is widespread over the states of Coahuila and Tamaulipas. I am cooking a pot of Hungarian goulash and thanking God that I have it so good.
Whether one believes in Global Warming or not, it's likely that we will see bigger storms, more floods and droughts etc.
ReplyDeleteBTW that plane crash sound suspicious to you? Evidently been alot of violence around election time.
Yea,three candidates chopped and one from the last presidential election kidnapped. I am sooo glad I got out when I did. I loved it over there.Oh and Phillipa is spelled Felipa, I dont know if I am from here or there anymore.
ReplyDeleteHow sad for those poor people. Everyday it's another flood, another tornado, another earthquake. Their weather modification program(HAARP) seems to be working. So many displaced people. So many will die for lack of treatment and sanitary conditions.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's all going according to their divine plan.
I heard about the mayor dying, (brief line mention in aus) we didnt get told about the plane or the floods..how odd.
ReplyDeleteHaving been the lucky recipient of a flood and mud myself, some years back, and Nothing! like the massive devastation there, I shudder at the thought of what they are facing now, and after.
poor people already under such pressure and then this:-(
It is saddening to hear of the losses and devastation. Yes, we also must count ourselves wealthy if we have food, shelter and loved ones around us. This has always been the only thing that really matters. All the rest is vanity as a wise one once wrote.
ReplyDeleteAlso -- these "basics" of food, shelter, and family have through-out time been worth fighting for and defending. I hope you are able to bless those around you in ways that you have available.
I hate to HAARP on it, but that plane could have been shot down by any US, Israeli weapon considering the fact that it is reported another Marc Rich or Khashoggi is arming the drug cartels with state of the art anti-tank aircraft weapons.
ReplyDeleteFake submarines, IED's, Chemical Agents, death.
The Military is opposed to this but not the government of Mexico who wishes to give their drug cartels the edge aganist the competition.
This was the scenario for Israel too. Now look at the monster that was created. Should Americans have to defend the Alamo again, we will lose again. (outgunned)
The news from you on this area is tragic beyond words. I'm for a revolution in S and C America. These people have got to get their governments back and get the help that the elites and puppets won't give.
ReplyDeleteIf ALEX is being stered by HAARP, then flying anywhere around that area will find you without instruments by ELF. If the use microwave they can explode it in mid-air? But a M-72 Laws will make mince meat of it too.
ReplyDeleteThey've been there and done that. 100,000s of deaths later, Fat-cats still rule. And now with all the automatic weapons flooding Mexico and etc from the US, you can be sure violence will escalate and get the people nowhere except dead.
