Great Deluge Wakes La Llorona

With rising sea levels, the ancient Dolores Lagoon has reappeared in the north of the Mission District, flooding streets and sinking dozens of live-work lofts in the soft mud. Residents, as far away as the Excelsior, report hearing the cries of La Llorona, complaining “Ay, my children, where have my children gone?” The authorities recommend that the last few remaining families in the Mission keep their children indoors at night.

Gran Diluvio Despierta la Llorona

Con el alza del nivel del mar, la antigua Laguna de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores ha vuelto a aparecer en el norte del barrio de la Misión, inundando las calles y hundiendo en lodo a decenas de “live-work lofts.” Residentes reportan oír, tan lejos como el barrio del Excelsior, los gritos de la Llorona en la noche, quejandose, “Ay, mis hijos, donde están mis hijos?” Las autoridades aconsejan a las pocas familias que todavía quedan en el Distrito que mantengan a sus niños dentro de casa por las noches.

Paper colors are variant shades of dark gray!
