Would you mind having this little fella in your backyard?

Puerto Rico... land of rice and beans.
Due to the floods and rains that have been going in the east caribbean lately there have been avalanches of loose ground on hills among floods here in PR.

Today the first page of the El Nuevo DÃ:censor:a newspaper had this photo of this rock that fell near one person's house:



this other link to the news will be useful (In Spanish): Check out the photo in that article.

Apparently the woman of the photo was watching the news on TV inside her home when the boulder came crashing down there destroying part of her garage. The rock according to them had been sitting atop the hill for decades and nobody had cared about it. Her son had just taken out his car, so had it fallen a bit earlier...

The woman of the photo says that she is still nervous about it (and I don't blame her)... she describes the boulder falling there as almost like an explosion...

I don't know about you folks... but I would have needed new underwear after that one!

Worst part about it is, if it happens once, your traumatized..... I bet she is very worried about big rocks crashing down on her house from now on!
