disasters in Guatemala

One opinion interview

Now we go to Guatemala, which has been suffering from a rash of disasters. First, a volcano eruption that rained ash and debris on Guatemala City. And then, as we just mentioned, a tropical storm hit Central America last week. In Guatemala, that storm took more than 150 lives. And it left this remarkable giant sink hole behind. Maybe you've seen pictures on the Web, we'll certainly have pictures on our website. That sink hole swallowed a three-story building whole.

Introduction

In the span of one week, Guatemala has been hit with a series of natural disasters: a volcanic eruption, Tropical Storm Agatha and the opening of a giant sinkhole that swallowed a building whole. More than 180 people are reported dead as a result. Host Michel Martin speaks with Associate Press reporter Juan Carlos Llorca, stationed in Guatemala City, for a report from the ground.

Conclusion

I think this happen whe guatemala wasn't expecting this kind of things, but we managed to survive, and we didn't have classes.
