Mexico Flood

In case you hadn't heard, there are hundreds of thousands of people affected by a huge flood in Mexico.


From the AP Story:
At least one death was reported and nearly all services, including drinking water and public transportation, were shut down. The flood affected an estimated 900,000 people — their homes flooded, damaged or cut off by high water. The flooding is in Villahermosa, the state capital of Tabasco, in southeastern Mexico.

The floods are also affecting oil production and cultural treasures (like these huge pre-Colombian Olmec heads that are really amazing).

I don't know anyone in that area, but if you do I hope everything is OK for them.

There are some Reuters photos here:

The art is Mexican surrealist artist Rodolfo Morales' Angel de Anoranza. He often included women, angels, and buildings in his paintings.
