There has been some flash floods here in the Stann Creek Dist. that has resulted some deaths.

Reports are that the Kendal Bridge on the Southern Highway is washed out.

Which is the Kendall Bridge? We are supposed to drive to Belize City on Thursday?

Kendal Bridge is the big bridge near between Maya Center & Sittee River

belizegial,,

i have 4 guests that are suppose to be in dangriga this morning to catch the boat to cocoplum caye.
would you know of a local contact number for that caye?
or,, would you have any idea if the boat out there would go in this weather?
thanks,, all i have is a US number.

Barn,

I just got your message.

All I can see in the phone book are these 2 numbers:

522 - 0376 or 509 - 2499

I do hope you'll be able to find out about your guests.

Another suggestion is to maybe try to contact the Blue Marlin Lodge: 520 - 5014.

Hope this helps.

Small craft warning is in effect!!!!

thanks gial,,,, that worked perfectly!

i owe ya one.

Any word from MissLena and the village?

I was told Miss Lena is in the USA.

I have not heard any reports from Maya Center about any damage there.

A village just up from where I am was severely affected.

The urgent need is food, water, and food.

I am at the moment putting some stuff together that I have around my house to take to these people.

If anyone can help, it will be GREATLY appreciate.

OMG, it looks even worse than what was reported!

Thanks to Astrum Helicopter for a job well done and to you too Marty for posting.

At least with these pics now, people will be get a better idea of what people went through and are going through.

I visited all the affected areas today and the biggest cry is for babies stuff, clothes, bottles, diapers etc.

Here are some pics from Debbie, she visited the villages affected with the flood yesterday. These are some latest pictures showing how supplies are getting across the Kendal River.

Good to see the Belize Coast Guard making good use of the US-supplied inflatable boats.

from Katie Valk...

Our neighbors constructed a temporary crossway. Trucks have passed thru. Big up Albert Loewen, Barry Bowen, Eugene Zabaneh and others that contributed to the effort. More details after I get more info.

Thanks to shuffles for the donation. It was greatly appreciated by those that got it.

Anyone coming and can assist with school supplies, it will be helpful.

notebooks, pens, pencils, backpacks, etc.

If anyone has a truck & trailer & are close the Sittee River Village they could really use some help hauling off garbage before it becomes even more unhygienic than it already is.

A power washer would be a nice added bonus.
PM me if you need contact info
TIA

Thanks to cakelee for the donation.
