But I think it's meant to rain in the next couple of days. thanks for keeping us posted about this. It's hard to imagine from here what it must be like to live through it all. You must kept all these posts somewhere, and anything else you write about your experiences. It's exactly the kind of unselfconscious eye-witness information from, dare I say it, ordinary people that has great value in later years, not just to your own family but to others as well. I love reading eye-witness accounts of great events.
