Electricity at a premium...

All the rivers in Honduras are at or above flood stage which is causing more problems than just flooding. Because the rivers cannot hold any more water the government is unable to release water from "El Cajon" the dam for the largest hydro electric plant in the country. Without water to turn the turbines they can't produce electricity, thus the government's decision to ration electricity! Today was our 'day in the barrel' and so we had no electricity today.

Then tonight we got another storm and the lightning knocked out our electricity again! It gives candlelight a different slant.
