The "Sonda" Wind!

The "Sonda" wind comes down out of the Andes, totally unannounced. All of a sudden, huge gusts of wind come blowing ahead of it dust, dirt, and often followed by rain and hail. Last night, just as we got in bed, the wind came.


We could tell it was really strong. But we live in the 3rd little pig house made all of brick. So it blew and blew and we were safe and sound. When we got up this morning, this is the damage on our street.


The power lines were all over the yard and drive way next to the mission office. But, lo and behold we still had power. Made me wonder about the people who do not live in the brick houses like ours.

We just wait now, until another one comes. If ye are prepared, ye need not fear. Don't worry, Be Happy!

Great attitude about having no fear! Wow, I guess there really isn't any warning to these Sonda winds?

Doesn't sound like much fun at all, but glad the 3rd little pig's house was vacant when you needed one, and not the 1st....
