The only phones that are working from the area are Nextel, so communication is minimal. There's no access by land to Melaque. The flooding is reported to be extensive. They did rescue a women who had a baby from there with the helicopter (called the Fenix) that's running in and out of the areas that are cut off. The helicopter has already rescued some people (and dogs) and is continuing its flights. So although it appears it might be 2-3 days before they have electricity and running water, they're not completely isolated. Damage is to properties - in Barra on the beach side, and flooding in Melaque. Our friends should all be ok. |
