The 19th of November is known for drum-beats and dancing, but yesterday, all across Belize, the only beating most of us heard was of the steady rain drumming on our roofs - and the only dancing we saw were the raindrops in flooded yards and streets. The 7 hour downpour caused considerable flooding in Belize City and around the country.
We called the Met office today to find out the extent of flooding. They didn't have countrywide statistics but they say 3 inches of rain fell at the Philip Goldson Airport while in Orange Walk, residents had to deal with as many as 4 inches of rain. They have not received reports out of Belize City or Dangriga as yet but in the city we did see streets like rivers with knee high waters. But, most of that ran off by this morning when the rain let up.
The MET office says that tomorrow the weather should clear up. Here's more in tonight's weather report.
