Yesterday morning our rain gauge was full. That’s 6 inches of rain. I’m sure you’ve heard that Hurricane Tomas is headed towards Haiti but it has already left its mark on Costa Rica. Costa Rica doesn’t get the full force of these Caribbean hurricanes but it does get lots of rain from them.
Pico Blanco is the mountain that towers over Escazu that we see from our back balcony. The top picture in the October Weather Report is Pico Blanco and the town of Escazu. Early Thursday morning, there were massive landslides on Pico Blanco. 20 are dead and another 10 are still missing, buried under tons of rocks and mud. Other parts of the country also suffered landslides and flooding.
