..That's exactly what GF said: They've never seen rain like it; apparently had a very hairy bike journey back home.
Hope they are tucked up tight in a strong house tonight.
Getting a bit windy here, too. :cool:0 -
Just heard from Divo Three. He and GF are fine; the storm's fury lessened considerably before passing over them.
So a huge relief for me - but not everyone waiting for news will be so lucky.
