Tropical Storm Alma is causing lots of rain and flooding in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Honduras. I tried to go South this morning on highway 2 and was turned around by police after 40 miles due to mudslides and downed power lines. I hear the coastal roads are flooded as well so I’ll be here in San Jose for a couple more nights it looks like.

If I had stayed in Granada for three more days I’d probably be without power and trudging through a few feet of water right now.
