Tropical Storm Barbara vs San Cristobal’s Drainage
By Neil Ransom | June 8, 2007
While Barbara never made it to hurricane status, we still have felt its affects. It has been raining in San Cristobal for a week and yesterday when whats left of the storm hit, we had rain and hail for hours. There is nothing like the sound of rain and hail on a tin roof and thunder to help you focus on your work project. Actually, I have really enjoyed the rain and lightning, reminds me of storms back in Kenya. The only downside is the neighborhood doesn’t drain very well, so we basically have to boat out of the compound.
Tropical Storm Barbara was supposed to be the first of the hurricanes this season, but before it hit the Mexico -Guatemala border it shrunk to small storm status. Lets just say if what hit us yesterday was just a small storm I can’t imagine what would happen if a hurricane or its remnants hit San Cristobal. Well they say “9 Hurricanes Expected in Revised Forecast” so we’ll see what happens.

I don’t know. It did rain pretty hard the other day, I think that was only because I stained the deck and washed the van windows though…

Oh man, isn’t Mexico awesome! I was in a town that was about an hour off the the gulf coast. We had like 5 or 6 hurricanes skirt right past us. We’d always see the news before they came. They would always have an hour representing the predicted path. The arrow was always pointing straight at us. But somehow, every time the hurricanes hit land they would change courses and hit other zones in the mission or texas. It was a little dissapointing. I wanted to experience one hurricane. We did get hit by one tropical storm, though. That was awesome! Man I miss Mexico in all its storminess and hokiness. I’m not surprised at the whole Mexican Disney on Ice event. It seems ridiculous to us, but they love it! They love american things like that. What’s more american than Spiderman, Barney, Disney, and Grease. Have you become familiar with any of the nationally famous clown troops like the Chicharines(sp?) or the Pallasonicos? They are pretty sweet
If you haven’t, ask anyone down there who they are.
