Default Re: Bananas I was expecting to get this year. . .

Thanks for sharing all the photos, Chong, I was trying to picture it when we talked and the photos are very dramatic.

Mitchel, Chong told me on the phone last week that it will probably take a month for the water to recede so the plants will be lost. I believe he said some were above water level but I also heard that there were more heavy rains. The CFCA web site I linked on my Nicaragua thread said they got a month's of rain in 12 hours but they've had more since then. Reminds me when our family lost our home to flooding in 1972 just before I turned 15. Looking at a lake over your home and crops is disheartening, to say the least.

We'll continue praying for all of the suffering people in the PI, Chong.
