There has been some pretty serious flooding in the far north of Namibia, close to the border of Angola. Serious enough that schools are closing (the primary schools at least, since the water is more dangerous for the small children) and Peace Corps has evacuated the MANY volunteers up there.
It's hard for Kevin and me to imagine since what they are experiencing in the north is so different from what we have in the south (they say "the North" (which means the extreme north, where most of Namibia's population lives) is a different country from "the South"). But a PC friend showed me some photos and gave me this video:
Wow!! And I was just thinking we were getting quite a bit of rain here! The rivers are up and our yard is swampy, but nothing like that, thankfully! I hope everyone stays safe -especially the other PC volunteers. Thanks for letting us know...
