Black Beacher Charlotte Heffner has been kind enough to share with us the data from her rain gauge for 2008.  Also included are previous years for comparison.  November 2008 saw the highest amount of monthly rainfall (42 inches) since Charlotte started keeping records in 2002.

Our friends from ANAI and ACTUAR put together a report on what happened in the community of Yorkin and what will be needed to help them recover from the loss of their entire infrastructure.

The rains are over, the Caribbean Coast is ready for visitors, but the folks in the Talamanca Mountains will be working on recovery for a long time. Some of us from ATEC, ReciCaribe, and APPTA headed up to the small community of Bambú yesterday (29 Nov) to distribute generous donations given by the folks Puerto Viejo and Cahuita.
