Mother Nature Strikes

Yesterday's freak storm that brought the city of Belize to an almost grinding halt left commuters and motorists dashing for high ground. Twenty four hours later, the powerful and dazzling effects of Mother Nature have come to light. Roaring thunder shook fragile nerves and interrupted many a business moment. A lightning bolt unleashed its fury during the storm and caused this palm tree in the Lopez Mateos park on the Northside of the city to catch on fire, while at the neighborhood K-Park Grocery store located in Kings Park, a jarring hole at the front top of the building is another way in which Mother Nature again left its mark.
