Alerta Roja por lluvias en El Salvador

Due to the tropical storm, President Funes of El Salvador declared a red alert this passed weekend. Fortunately, my community seems to be holding up ok; however, there are many other communities that have been evacuated and are currently dealing with the aftermath of floods and landslides.

AES, Aid El Salvador, is currently accepting donations for disaster relief. AES will focus their efforts to assure that basic needs are met (shelter, food, blankets, medicine, etc.). Please donate what you can via www.aidelsalvador.org

Here's a quick video outside my home during the storm. After two days of house arrest, I was finally able to get out of the house today. The schools are closed, water pipes are broken, and, fortunately, the rain has significantly calmed down; the same goes for my anxiety.
