A visit from Olga

We thought we were in the clear, since hurricane season ended a couple of weeks ago. We were surprised then, when Tropical Storm Olga, blew through on Tuesday, and dumped a lot of rain on us.

School was cancelled all over the country for yesterday and today, presumably to resume tomorrow. There was flooding on many of the major streets in the capital, and some of the people who were flooded out by the last big storm had to evacuate once again. The capital wasn't as hard hit as the northern coast was this time, and the death toll, which now stands at 13, is much lower. Santiago, which is the second largest city in the country, was hit with extensive flooding in river areas.
