What happens to these houses when the rains come? Can you stay dry under grass? Does mud not get soft and lose its form? This picture is one of the stronger structures of many homes in the village - many are made completely of dry grass. Rumor has it Mozambique is predicted to experience more rain fall and flooding this year than that of the 2000 & 2001 massive floods. That's a massive disaster. There are pictures online of flood waters in the villages with just the tip of the straw rooftops showing. Mud evidently does not float, but one would definitely not want to be trapped inside.
