The storms did a lot ofdamage to electrical lines and roads,and tore down many trees.The bean harvest has beendramatically affected, which isthe basic food crop of the Hondurans.The price of beans has doubleddue to the storms.Thankfully the homes inthe mountain were not hit withextreme damage. The local peoplehave been busy clearing roads of fallen trees to use for firewood.
