Thanks for safe passage through Hurricane Sandy, now worries for those facing a difficult day.

From an observation point in Santo, Carl took these pictures this morning of the river bordering Port-au-Prince, Santo, and Croix des Bouquets. It has overflown its banks and has begun to wash away houses. He watched two houses sink into the swirling brown water, as neighbors all around tried to remove and save their tin roofs and belongings. We are hoping that the rain stops and the flooding calms down , as there is a large tent city in danger, just inches above the raging water.

The river is high above its normal banks and threatens many homes as well as a large tent city.

Friends and family stare at the spot where their house used to be.
