The Aftermath of Hurricane Iota in Limon Uno y Dos 

Today, I was planning to show you some footage of a Sumo wrestler that I admire. But when I saw this photo of a man carrying a baby to safety in a tub on her head, I thought I’d make this issue a little photo journal of the effect of and response to Hurricane Iota in our little corner of Nicaragua.

Here’s a good one showing the mud damage…

This one shows the caravans of trucks bringing mattresses from Managua…

And here are more photos of the damage, showing how the flooding can topple structures (including houses) that are built with dirt floors and earthen blocks instead of concrete.

If you would like to contribute to the relief effort, please contact the local director of FunLimon, Bismarck Rodriguez, at bismarck@funlimon.org.
