This pic was taken by some missionary friends of mine here just yesterday. Rain is fairly common here in Burkina this time of year; but the amount that came down yesterday morning between the hours of 5am-3pm was much more than the city could handle. Many drainage canals over flowed, wiping out bridges and swallowing cars along the way. Streets were covered with water and mud, power was cut for hours, houses were flooded and destroyed, and there were multiple deaths in and around the city all due to the excessive rainfall! I will continue to post updates and pictures as they come in. Please continue to pray for the people here in Burkina.
