So much for updating my blog a little more often. Last Saturday, the power went out in Catacamas, and didn't come back until last night. Reason? A big storm went across the country, causing floods and all kinds of havoc. Our tranquil little river changed overnight, coming out of it's banks and taking away parts of the road that crossed it. The power was out in Catacamas because the power lines got swept down the river. Many people were out of power and had no water for over a week, and I imagine that many are still without. We were not in the dark, completely, as we did have a back-up generator. Our worst problem here at the farm was the loss of internet, which in the grand scheme of things, is not the important.
This is the Rio Talgua, in 2006.
And here it is again, October 19, 2008. Note the clump of trees on the left.
And again, on October 20, 2008. Look at the left - that clump of trees is now gone.
And that is the bridge to the rest of the farm property and to the village of Santa Clara.
It is truly amazing, the power of water.
