We just received an email from some 10-10-10 organizers there who report that it will be difficult to follow through with their events (though they'll do their best) in the face of severe floods now affecting the country. The [AP](https://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hMggmLsV-lq67tIm5EeZ3GUfgtXwD9IO5Q3G0?docId=D9IO5Q3G0) is reporting that tends of thousands of people are stranded after several days of intense rains.
