no rain here and too much in Costa Rica

Everyday I look at the radar for Central America, to see what might be going on in Santa Rosa where Fernando is and what might be happening in Boquete, where we used to live.

Today, well actually this evening, was pretty alarming to see the radar in Costa Rica.  The ENTIRE country is blanketed in dark orange and some very dark reds.   Which means it not only is raining there, it must be POURING!!   There was not one piece of  Costa Rica that looked clear of rain.   Where we lived for a little while in Samara, the radar showed very dark red, so that means Samara was getting pelted with rain.  Where Fernando is in Santa Rosa, it looked like it was only light orange, but that probably still meant anyway that it was raining.  And from looking at that radar for a while, it seemed those dark reds were heading up north to where Fernando is.  It even looked like out in the ocean off the coast of Samara, that there were some dark purples and even dark browns.  I can't even imagine how heavy those kinds of rains must be.

So, this is what the radar looked like at midnight Texas time.  Costa Rica is the country in the center, where all the dark red is.  Santa Rosa, where Fernando is, is in the upper left hand corner of the country around where the little sharp point is sticking out to the left.   And we can't get any rain here in San Antonio at all.
