We Brits moan about the British weather, we must be the only nation who can make a conversation about the weather.
But oh we are so so lucky when you look what has happened in Australia with the floods, New Zealand with an earth quake and now Japan, not to mention other countries.
I know we do have floods here, but oh those poor poor folk who have all been swept away in the tsunami.
We were in Hawaii a few years ago, our hotel looked out on to the ocean, one day we sat on our balcony watching the waves crashing in over the wall of the gardens as a storm sent the sea water over on to the main road as well, which they had had to close. Once home a few months later, the tsunami hit Sri Lanka, we have often referred back to us sitting on the balcony and the sea crashing over that wall ! We heard on the radio today that the latest tsunami hit Hawaii as well! god bless the victims.
My heart goes out to all affected by this. God bless them all x
ReplyDeleteAnn,
ReplyDeleteWe watched most of yesterday to see the extent of the flooding and other problems caused by the earthquake. We had Emma here with us all day and she had lots of questions about what causes earthquakes and tsunamis, etc. By the afternoon, she was "tired " of hearing about all the destruction (the mind of a child can not absorb the magnanimity of it!)and asked to watch a movie. It is horrible and the number of deaths and missing seemed small but I bet will rise. The weather is NOT something we can control, nor the workings of the earth. It is sad for the people to go through something like this. And then the radiation the nuclear reactors were having to release. That is scary too. We can be thankful for where we are. SNOW storms don't seem so bad in comparison. We may get a little dusting again today, but I am ready for spring!
