Hurricane in Tampico??????

We awoke to a huge storm today.  Dad was all dressed to go outside and run instead of the treadmill but it was not to be.  The weather has been a little cooler so he was excited but.....
One of our office elders needed a return visit to the Dr. so Dad was his companion so that his companion could continue to work at the office with the other elders.  This was the scene outside the windows at the hospital there.  I'm sure you can understand the explanation of Elder Arias.  Right?
Dad was kind enough to drop us off at the door and went to park.  We waited for a few minutes and he didn't come.  We could see the car but Dad didn't come.  The storm was terrible.  I can't just take Elder Arias to the appointment without another elder.  So finally I called Dad in the car and he was just contemplating if he wanted to get out.  But this video tells what happened when he did.  He was soaking wet and wrinkled for the rest of the day.  What a sacrifice.  And when we checked to see if we had missed knowing about a tropical storm coming through, there were none.  We're not quite sure what happened.  But there was horrible flooding and large, downed trees in the road.

That's funny stuff watching Dad run into the building. HA! It reminds me when there was a monsoon in Korea and umbrellas were pointless....case in point.
