It’s 1 AM Caracas time, just got home. It stopped raining this evening at 7 PM, but more rain is expected. Coastal road is in very bad shape, they estimate it will take 5 days to fix. My mother and sister and nephews still out there, they are using helicopters and botas to get people out, but so far they have not been able to get on them. Hopefully tomorrow.

Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
