Helicopters were landing at the crossroads of the main street in town and the road to Macia. . . . Some people are living in the large tee-pee like tents that are set up all over, and some are living in empty buildings, houses, and schools that are around. It had been exactly one month since I've seen them all. Each person we met told us their story, how many days they were on their roofs. The moral of the town actually seemed in pretty good spirits.
People seem anxious to get back and clean-up.
Many are already going. Some are heading down to Maputo, or sending their kids there to stay with family. Town life was going on. There is a community there. Today, Mark and I drove as far we could north of Maputo until we could go no farther due to the flooding.
