and now...

According to the radio, the price of bottled water has gone up now that people need it more.  Even though the water has gone down, it's so thick with mud that many of them are still impassible for cars.  A few people have died.  There have been mudslides.  They have set up places for people who need help and are collecting donations of food, clothes...I think (if I understood correctly) they are even giving vaccinations for people who were in the water.
