Yes, the cyclone and the floods caused extensive damage. Yes they were traumatic events for all of us. They were, however, foreseen. We had advance warning of several days with both and because of that many lives were saved. With the earthquake in christchurch and the wave that raged through toowoomba and the Lockyer valley, there was very little, if any, warning and the loss of life has been horrific. My thoughts are with you mike. Stay safe and well. I've said it before and I'll say it again.....

Take care...and know that we are all thinking of everyone in New Zealand.Deslie Gordonhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=623615123noreply@blogger.com
