Then leave the streets and houses are flooded. You see people getting into cubes sky home, floating furniture, tin roofs that break. The city is paralyzed, especially in cardboard Maputo, where the nearby sea seems less violent than those neighborhoods lost quagmire. Everything about this affliction in which African coups become customary.

Llevaba toda la mañana gris, como si fuera atragantando el cielo de poco en poco, a sorbos. Then, justo detrás de la enrejada ventana de la casa de una amiga en Maputo, escuché el sonido brutal del agua golpeando el suelo. Fue en un segundo, no pasó más, desde que se pasó de la calma amenazante hasta que comenzó a diluviar obscenamente. Entonces me asomé a la ventana y vi como en pocos minutos las calles estaban anegadas. Vi a gente caminar con el agua por las rodillas. Vi el cielo temblar, quebrarse. Y así fue durante horas. Y así comenzó la rutina del caos.
La naturaleza en África es excesiva. Lo es por imponente, wild, pero lo es sobre todo por indomable. The big difference between a storm and a storm here in the world ready is the recipient. It is true that the sky tropical downloaded furiously all morning, he did with a vengeance, wanting to destroy everything. But it is also true that the city has no sewage, its asphalt accumulates holes in the land sinking, dirt that clogs it all.

The city is paralyzed, especially in cardboard Maputo, where the nearby sea seems less violent than those neighborhoods lost quagmire. Everything about this affliction in which African coups become customary. No one is startled, nothing happens that is not part of the times and provided. The rainy season arrives and with it comes the expected damage.
Days later I learned that the flood had caused a number of undetermined deaths. I knew that some people I know lost some of their homes and belongings in the downpour. I knew that UNICEF estimated that there were almost 20.000 displaced. There was widespread damage to repair, Hand dry the rain and wait for the winds carry clouds. Happen again soon again, heaven will moisten all, bye, will several times during this rainy season with nothing changed. Nothing happens, you just have to get used to wet her shoulders. Then comes the sun and dries all that withstood the onslaught, tombs to have a habit of dipping here in Mozambique.
