Today morning's entry of the Virunga National Park Headquarters at
Rumangabo was filed by staff member LuAnne Cadd from Goma, where parts
of the personnel have been moved since the intensification of military
activities in the park area.
LuAnn Cadd's post reads in parts:
"As if the park didn't have enough troubles already, one more random
and distressing incident can be added to the list.
"Yesterday afternoon a massive thunder and lightning storm moved over
the park headquarters, and the main office building took a direct
lightning hit – frying internet, electric cables, and Emmanuel's
computer, among many other very expensive pieces of equipment.
"Emmanuel's regular updates on the park will come in a bit slower now
as he will need to dictate them over the phone to me in Goma until
we can get it fixed.
"Losing internet makes those at Rumangabo feel much more isolated, but
thankfully the phones are still working.
"We are trying to see if it's possible to repair the damage today, but
it could be quite extensive and
expensive."
That's a bummer!
