I'll be thinking of you,



Thanks Steven.

Ours just curved at the last moment and the eye missed us by a hundred kms or so. All fine, except for some flooding here and there.

Looking at the pics from Vermont at the moment, and I can't believe it! So much damage... roads collapsed, bridges fell down, etc...

I mean, I see this all the time here, but didn't remember that back home it happened like this.

I guess it's from construction standards. If I remember well, most stuff is built to withstand the worst in the last 100 years. So this Irene most have been the worst that the East of North America has seen in a 100 years!

Here, we get hurricanes force 3 regularly, so building code is more strict.

Still.... you can't beat mother nature when she is unleashed... We've seen entire villages side swiped in mud flows a couple of years ago. Thousands of lives lost.

I wish all of you and your precious ones be well, buildings can be rebuilt, but lives never come back....
