the worst that we thought would happen is that maybe the lower level would flood, but just had a sick feeling all day long. about midnight, i remember the sand kind of came over that wall and it reached our patio, like, within minutes. the time that we decided to evacuate was i think some time around 1:30 a.m. on monday morning. when the frams returned by daylight, it s an alarming scene. the lake water has found its own exit route. it s flowing over the lake shores and downhill across the county highway. it s a serious turn of events, but could be good news for the frams. tim said i think we might be okay, because it might take the water away from our home. but so much fast-flowing water has the force of a raging locomotive and the hightway starts to crumble under the momentum. 5,000 pound pieces were
tens of thousand of people crammed on to a very, very small strip of land. desperate to get on to the boat where i am to leave. the lake is really the only exit route. more than 100,000 now have fled burundi. less because of what is happening, but more because of what they fear might happen. but yes, this, this little strip of kagunga where i spent the day yesterday and where this boat will head off again today to pick up more refugees. this its the situation that we saw there. sticks and a flimsy rope don t hold back the really determined. it s hard for aid work tires keep any kind of order with people this desperate. each day we have 600 to 900 persons traveling. and but it is a huge fight to go
i was one of the last to be helped out of the car because i was in the middle and our exit route was the actual end doors of the car except they were all mangled, and you couldn t just walk through them. you had to be hoisted through them by the first responders. i was i was sort of supported to the triage area and i thought i was kind of okay. i thought i might be able to walk away but the more i sat there, the more i realized i had pain in my leg. i didn t really realize hi this bump on my face on my head. that was pointed out to me earlier, but once i was designated for that certain triage category i was transported in a police van with several other people to temple university emergency room. and i was in the emergency room for a few hours.
it kept getting higher. the kids were having a blast. they were playing in the water as it was coming up. it s fun and game for the kids, but liz and tim fear the lake water will flood their home. the worst we thought would happen is that maybe the lower level would flood. but just had a sick feeling all day long. about midnight i remember the sand kind of came over that wall and it reached our patio within minutes. the time that we decided to evacuate was i think sometime around 1:30 a.m. on monday morning. when the frams returned by daylight, it s an alarming scene. the lake water has found its own exit route. it s flowing over the lake shores and downhill across the county highway. it s a serious turn of events, but could be good news for the frams. tim said i think we might be okay because it might take the water away from our home.
