This was a very nice house before the waterspout came to San Juan Cosala on September 12. Recently Kelly went for a walk to see how things were coming along. You can see how high the mud had come on the walls. Since then obviously a lot of cleanup has taken place, as you can see the steps. Kelly remembered seeing a woman emptying mud out of that window a month ago.

Here is a humbler house, lower down the hillside and somewhat to the west. Again, you can see the mud line.

This is the back of that second house, with boulders still indoors. We don’t know the owners and don’t know if they will be able to do anything with the structure or not. They are living elsewhere.
