Flooding in Monrovia

My friend Olly Peet, who is aboard the Mercy Ship in Liberia, posted some pics from the flooding in Monrovia (specifically the Paynesville area). The photos are here, but check out his other entries…he frequently posts good pics from around Monrovia.

Just imagine how difficult this must be for the Liberians living around this area. Displaced and with no flood insurance or FEMA or any local, state or federal help. I will say that Liberians are generally smart enough to haul away their stuff when they are displaced…because chances are… rogues or neighbors will have stolen it before anyone goes back to check on things.

UPDATE: This news story indicates that flooding in Monrovia is the worst in the city's history. I'm not sure I agree with their reasoning...but it's interesting nonetheless.
