My elder son Mariano (25) is working and studying in Caracas. He is OK, but we talked to him tonight and found him really sad. Thousands of people have died, and thousands are in real danger, with all routes blocked, with no access to food, water and medical assistance. The city of La Guaira (main port), in the northern coast near Caracas, practically is non-existent. 5-star hotels are flooded up to the 2nd store. Coast route and all small towns are covered by 5 meters of mud and rocks. The beaches don't exist any more.
Let's ask our national authorities to send some help. Let's help in any way we can, even with a prayer for the beautiful country of the red heron and the joyful people, at least for the rains to stop and allow the rescuers to make their job.
Thanks to all - Andrés Magré
