Oh my! I am so sorry to see this! Mudslides are terribly dangerous and powerful. It is amazing the damage they can do. It is sad. We had the bands of a hurricane pass over Panama two years ago and cause major flooding, mudslides, etc. People are still trying to rebuild their lives.
I'm sure you must have lived through some perilous weather as well, living where you do! It's going to take years to rebuild and will have a huge effect on our economy!
It is so sad.
Thankfully Panama is situated as such that it has never received a direct hit from a hurricane, but we've had the bands sit on top of us. Other than that, just a lot of rain in rainy season, but I kind of like it usually!
