Good morning, dear mylotters. I can say good morning from here because I am one of the lucky ones who have had no problems in Santiago. About 5 million people in my city have no water still. Yet the rain has been so heavy that it has caused a great damage. My eldest daughter told mee yesterday that they had no water and were placing pots outside to gather rain. I have more than enough water, if they want to come and get some and my youngest daughter has a swimming pool. Although that is not drinking water, it does serve for the toilet. Leticia did not come. She has water, but yesterday in rained with wind and she got water on her second floor. I will read your posts. I need positive posts so I will check on the happy ones.

I am so sorry for so many families that are going to have to live in shelters for who knows how long!

It's a terrible situation in your country, but I'm pleased that you at least are one of the luckier ones.

My eldest daughter had no water yesterday. But they can all camp at my house if they wish. Yes, I´m lucky!

It has rained slowly where I am. Just enough, I believe. I am sorry there is so much damage there and also in other parts of the world.

So sorry about all that rain that you are experiencing and yet, lack of water for so many people. Unfair!

I´m very worried for the people with no much means. Their houses leak and shelters are not aenough.

I'm happy to hear that you have water but it sounds like a horrible ordeal for those who don't
