I would like to thank Mr. Cameron Sinclair and the Huffington Post for providing somehow the coverage this humanitarian and environmental catastrophe is lacking in the U.S. mainstream media. Even if it stopped raining now, the difficulties wouldn't stop there, since 2 Million colombians have been already damaged by the heavy rains and the floods.Anyway, fortunately the government and authorities are aiming big this time and they really want to tackle several problems underlying and predating the current state of affairs. There's already talks of abandoning old settlements and starting new, safer and better ones.
The U.S. aid have been a major factor to stop the flooding in several areas, I have to add. Those americans who are helping in the engeneering tasks have already realized this emergency wasn't any different from what the Katrina hurricane already did in New Orleans.
To all these people, I would like to say thanks, too.

I hate these days. People are telling you to STFU. Just say it, no matter how stupid or offensive it is.
