Tabasco floodings
November 3rd, 2007 by Barbara Soldi
Unfortunately, the 2007 Day of the Dead celebrations will be remembered as tragic by the Tabasquenos and some of the Chiapanecos.
The exodus is reaching enormous proportions and more than 100,000 people have been evacuated, saved from their homes and sent to temporary refuge shelters in Villahermosa.
It is real devastation, another disastrous effect of this global warming which still some people are refusing to ackowledge.
The newspaper El Universal published some emergency bank account numbers to help Tabasco, and this is the link to the Mexican Red Cross. I have not found any easy way to donate online yet, please add info on a comment if you know any.
