Today I got to witness the extreme wet weather here in Bogota.
It rain heavily in the afternoon and in less then 30 minutes, the water level rise above the curbs and the roads turned into a mini river. It was a little scary but fascinating to watch as I was stuck in a bus on my way North. And soon after it started hailing hard! This lasted almost an hour, drowning the roads and cars with white pebbles, so by the end of it Bogota looked like it was in the middle of a snowy white Christmas!
But if you think my photos did not look too bad, check out "El Tiempo" (The Time) the daily newspaper of Bogota. It has an article and an incredible photo of the flood and damages caused by the storm.
