Cyclone Oma stayed longer than welcome, most of the locals said they never saw a cyclone linger so long, for over 6 days. The rivers rose faster than they ever have, said one local.
The picture above is the second river we have to cross to get home… this is after the water receded for over a week! It might be another 2-3 weeks until we can drive to our house. I (Seth) crossed both rivers and then hiked 2+ hours to get home last week to check on our house and animals. Everything was just fine, we even have a larger family (our dog had a litter)!
In about 10 hours we will head back to our house… cross the first river, leave our vehicle with our friends, and then hike home across the second river with minimal supplies for the next 6-8 weeks.
Pray that it stays sunny and the waters recede more, and pray we can get back to work quickly since we have been displaced for almost 2 weeks. About 300 yards of our road was washed away, so we will be busy fixing a new route.
Thank you for your prayers, your feet to the Tiale people, Seth and Nicole Stokes.
