So We're All OK

Apr 03, 2012 08:20

So the cyclone has bypassed us but there's still rain forecast for the next five days. I'm currently wasting money on hold trying to ring the airport to reschedule the kids' flights. I don't have much hope as there are people who have had their flights cancelled. Coincidentally the cyclone is called Daphne. Thousands have lost everything and roads ( Read more... )

I saw it on the news and thought, my God! It looks so scary and I can't imagine what it means to those who lost their livelihood - maybe even their lives.

Keepig you all in my thoughts.

Thanks for your concern. It's still raining and the forecast is the same till the end of the week. I go home on Sunday if not sooner. We are the lucky ones here.

I've seen it in the news as well and I was telling my father for you. He is a sailor so he knows and lived through lots of cyclones and hurricanes in the middle of nowhere deep into the ocean *nods*

You're in my thoughts sweetie *hugs*

Thanks. The cyclone has blown out to sea but it's still raining and miserable.

My God,thats devastating!!!I never saw anything as bad as that weather wise before. Those poor people.

I really hope everyone stays safe and finds some sort of shelter until they can get their lives back together again. Thats mad,I never saw floods as bad as that before.

*Hugs you all*

It's heartbreaking. This is the worst weather Fiji has ever had. My daughter brought over clothes to donate so I'm sure they'll come in very handy.

OMG!!! I'm so glad you and your family are okay!

I feel terrible for those who lost so much.

Thanks. Leanne has gone home today and will try to get the boys on an earlier flight if they want to go. There are many Aussie worse off than us when it comes to where they're staying so I'd rather they leave first.

Very glad you are all OK...

Thanks. We're right but it's still raining with no sunshine in sight for at least 5 days.
