Still Stuck in Goroka

Sue says:

We ventured out to the PMV (public motor vehicle) stop this morning to ask the drivers if anyone is getting across the slide area. They said there are still seven or more bodies under the slide. Familes with missing loved ones are in anguish. Any living people will be pulled out before the ground is cleared. A newspaper account reported the second slide in the same area is 200 meters long, 20 meters wide and 5 to 10 meters deep.

We called to see if it would be possible to fly back to our campus. The one service that flies there will go Friday. It is already fully booked.

It's raining heavily again tonight. Though we're a bit stir-crazy, we're thankful to be safe and dry.
