One Week Later

The video above is what Doniphan looked like on Wednesday Aug. 2nd as the water in the street just sat there. Now one week later, the water is mostly gone, but a new problem has come about.

The mosquitos are breeding like mad. On my legs alone I can count about 10-15 bites that really really itch. My arms have about 5.



All of this area might not look like this anymore, but the stagnant water left in yards and low lying areas stinks to high heaven. Couple this with the trash that washed away from peoples garbage cans and street runoff, not to mention the malodorous scent of drainage canals and farmland in front of our building, it is absolutely unbearable to breathe any fresh air outside of the building, or for much of the upper valley.

Its one of those times you wish El Paso's windy season would come through and blow out all of the stench and mosquito's somewhere else.
