More on twister...

Photos: This is the school in Eagle Pass, and it was damaged severely.
In Piedras Negras, the church is gone! We shot a sequence of images (for EL ESCAPE DE LOS SANTOS) in the park directly in front of this church but it is all gone now... :-(

I passed by yesterday through the affected areas, and I was amazed at the damage...
In Piedras Negras, clean-up crews were everywhere. Military, state and local officers, along with contractors were all around cleaning up the area with tractors and other heavy equipment.

ON THE OTHER SIDE of the river in Eagle Pass, the only officials I saw, were cleaning up the school (which was heavily damaged), and directing traffic, HOWEVER in the residential area, where homes where also heavily hit, and trailer homes destroyed, I saw only volunteers and just plain civilians helping out and cleaning the area. Even though there were many people helping in the cleaning of Rosita Valley, it seemed dwarfed, next to the clean-up team in Piedras Negras.

Both places looked like some post-apocalyptic futuristic movie... it was quite sad to see all this.
On the optimistic side, many people are helping out, and hopefully their lives will be restored as soon as possible. :-)

No movie news to report at this time :-|
