Surrounded by Water

In Colombia it rains year round, but especially at this time. Right now people are raising money to help the people with flooded homes. The storms have been so bad this year that there are over 2 million flood victims.

Yesterday it rained for about 5 minutes at our house but the rain came down so fast and so hard that half of the patio flooded. IT WAS AWESOME!! I looked out the window and saw water rushing down the front steps. After that, the back yard drain clogged up with flower leaves and stuff. My grandma just walked into the water and swept the leaves away - which was great because otherwise water would come into the house. It was surprisingly dry after that brief storm.


Bye,
Coco
