The country is still helping those who were most affected and different support activities (like food and donations gathering) are still going on, but hotels in the area are fully functional and utilities are also normal in most of San Carlos. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35747"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35747">Our Local Organizing Committee also indicates that there's no knowledge of closed routes or controlled transit in any of the major ways. As for the weather, we are currently having some of the last rains of the wet season but this is quite normal for this time of year and in San Carlos, it always rains, which is probably one of the reasons why Nature there is so exhuberant!</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35748"><br clear="none" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35749"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35750">Kind regards,</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35751"><br clear="none" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35752"></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35753">William Ulate</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35754">TDWG Treasurer</div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35722"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35810" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: bookman old style, new york, times, serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35809"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35808"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35807"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35827"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_36255"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> "Shorthouse, David" <davidpshorthouse@gmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> tdwg@lists.tdwg.org <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Monday, November 28, 2016 11:05 AM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [tdwg] any TDWG2016 weather updates<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480349552623_35829"><br>All -<br><br>I have heard reports of landslides & washed out roads near Upala ~80km<br>NW of La Fortuna.
