It was about 9:30 in the morning and we were in the room planning on making plans for the day.
All of a sudden water just started coming in between the wall and the roof. It came in very fast
and then the next minute I was trapped on the floor underneath the bed which had turned over on
top of me. The roof of the hut was turned off by the force of the water and both Fernando and I
were taken out of the hut and it just felt like we were drowning immediately.
It was just a huge force and I had no sense of direction whatsoever. The only direction that I
knew was up and we were washed out and ended up popping up together. Fernando and I were
trying to stay together but the currents were going sideways and we were just swirling and trying
to keep our face up.
Then the two of us wrapped ourselves around the telephone pole and then all of a sudden we felt
the water surge again. Fernando looked at me and said, “It’s not over! And I felt his hand on the
back of my shirt and I felt his hand slip away. And then I was drowning again he was forced to
let go. The force of the water pushed me underneath and I got my face trapped between two
telephone wires and it pulled myself out from underneath it and kept travelling.
It's a miracle that I am sitting here. I believe that I was spared for a reason. I'm really thankful
that I was given the strength and the presence of mind that I had.
