Agatha, a storm with it horrible rains and winds destroy over 18 breaches.
156 deaths so far and still people missing.
I was coming back from my prom trip at Izabal and Peten.
It was around 4pm on a cold and rainy day of one Saturday may 29th, we were all scared about traveling in a small bus on those conditions.
Some of my friends claim: We should wait until the rain stops and return home tomorrow. But the fact was that we needed to be at Guatamala on Saturday, no matter what.
While we were on the bus, the rain started to get worst and worst. We could see how the rivers and also the lake were starting to raise faster, we were scared.
Almost all the parents called scared saying that the storm was near us, the paranoia started.
The girls screaming asking the teacher to find a safe place to spend the night, honestly… I just wanted to be home.
After hours of fear we finally reach Gutemala city, covered in sand. The weather was cold and the sky looked even darker than it normally looks.
Horrible news, we were on a gas station when my teacher recived a text message THE STORM WAS ON IZABAL!.
The Motagua river was all over the breach and there was no way to pass, it was amazing! A complete chaos on the place we leave a few hours ago. Everything was a mess back in Izabal.
This storm forms that Saturday on the waters of the Pacific Ocean and it moved to Guatemala.
The rains were unbelievable.
