    Thanks for positive vibes, Lucky, Sun.A and D.Free. :T

    Still on tenterhooks; kids are ok so far - well, they were on-line briefly a few hours ago.

    ..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:

    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.

    Donation to ICRC for relief effort, in grateful thanks to the universe for sparing those I love (happy not to claim NSD today).
