Overlooked in the Tsunami Aftermath

Guyana is experiencing massive flooding. Apparently in the past month it's rained more than in the past 100 years. And I can tell you from experience -- it rains a lot there in a dry year.

Most of the people in Guyana live in places that are below sea-level anyway (you can thank the Dutch for that genius engineering), so flooding is always a concern. Apparently a large portion of the coast is 3-5 feet underwater.

Read about it here and see purty pictures here.
