Hurricane Mitch in Honduras on November 8, 1998

Sunday - November 8, 1998.

Update from Honduras.com STAFF:

The San Pedro Sula airport is still without power, water, gas, and telephones. The new power generator is inoperative and needs an overhaul, or to be replaced completely. The power unit for the radar equipment is damaged and also needs replacement. Land equipment has been inspected and assessed by the factory electrical engineers, and they do not expect to have repairs made, new equipment in place, or the airport operative until Wednesday.

The road to Copan is open, but access is virtually impossible except to small cars and 4x4's. There is no telling how much longer it will be before trucks and buses will be able to use this road.

Daily Report from Honduras.com Correspondent, O Ma R Orbison:

Made it to two church services, and actually glad that I made it to both since each had an uplifting message...they both reminded us of the Book of Job and applied it to the present circumstances. It has definitely recharged us spiritually, and we're ready to take on another week!!! We also invited one of the local school teachers to lunch, and showed him what we are doing. He has volunteered to help us sort through the hundreds of emails that have been pouring in, so hopefully soon we will be able to start answering them!!! We apologize for not getting to them sooner, but Mitch has kept us busy trying to save lives and bring hope to the desperate!!!
