Flee Out The Window or
Drown
Taxi driver Alonso Monge
got the scare of his
life yesterday while
driving in the area
around Spoons in San

when he had to escape
his own vehicle through
the window, or risk
drowning to death.

later yesterday
afternoon during the
seasonal downpour.

flow of rain was that
great. According to the

weatherman - yesterday's
rain was the heaviest in
many years, causing
flash flooding in many
area, even in areas
where flooding has never
occurred.
The Monge incident was

the taxi driver never
imagined having to flee
his taxi by the window.
"I saw it was raining,
but never imagined it
that hard", said Monge. |
