Nov. 30, 2007 — I recently got a link to a set of photos on Flickr that were taken on Sept 12, 2007, the day that the waterspout (tromba in Spanish) hit our town of San Juan Cosala. I just browsed through them, and found a lot of fascinating details:

  There was NO waterspout. I was living here at the time and for one week prior to the landslide it rained heavily every night. My rain guage on the 12 showed 5.5 inches over night. That tremendous amount of water could not be absorbed by the mountains nor handled by the arroyos…the result was a deluge of water pouring down from the mountains. I spent the next week helping with the cleanup and did NOT see any lyrio, fish or anything that would have been deposited from the lake if there had been a waterspout.

  That is the first really good argument against there having been a waterspot that I have read. Very interesting.
