Here
are some photos of Jimena when folks could finally
get out of
their homes after the storm passed. These were taken by Kim who was here with Mike and
the kids on vacation...wow, they won't ever
forget this vacation!
|

|
It
took five days for the water to go down so they
could even start to think about getting out
|

The
old girl
(whale
boat)
now has a boyfriend...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...yep, she's
still here!

It
raged for days...you can get an idea of the wall
of water that came through. Many of the homes were
either destroyed or really damaged. The School
needs to be rebuilt I'm told as well.

They
used whatever they could to shore up the windows
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
The
weather station was fully operational the entire
time...a little worn for sure, but it wasn't a
"Category Four", as the rock would have
been gone.

These
photos were taken out at one of the Ranchos
yesterday (Monday, September 7th) by someone
who Boozie gave her camera to take as it is
impossible to get to some of these Ranches except
on Quad at the moment.

They
have been digging for two days to get this truck
out
|

One
dry bed left for the entire family

Their
water supply is now destroyed. We are trying to
get a pump out to the ranches with a generator to
pump out the water and hopefully, the fresh water
will come back in.

They
do have their spirit and faith...all the donations
that you can send here to San Somewhere will make it
somehow out to the people. Boozie has been doing a
tremendous effort getting everyone organized,
soliciting and "strong arming" anyone
who will listen...and believe it or not, she has
raised some serious cash donations in less than a
week! The, "Ballena Award" goes to John
at FusionStorm, whose generosity really put the
cash in"fusion" to work.
Susan, you are
an "Angel" for making that gift a
reality!
