This is the bridge at Croix des Mission. Normally the river is almost dry. Because of the heavy rains the bridge is now closed to vehicles. The rushing waters are close to the foundation of this bridge.
Lukner has family living in this area. They fled their home last night and are living with friends until the flood waters subside.
During normal times people dig sand from the river bed and wash their vehicles in the middle of the river. Because of erosion the water rushes down the mountain sides. Heavy rains that last awhile cause a lot of damage here in Haiti.
