DAMAGE FROM TROPICAL DEPRESSION AGATHA
At the end of May, Tropical Depression Agatha hit the Gualan area very hard. Thirty inches of rain came down in a very short time. Here Pastor Jasinto is explaining to us some of the things that happened. Fortunately the bridge that we see here in the background held up and did not wash away. But at the height of the storm, the water came all the way up to the bridge.
