...for all those who have suffered through Hurricane Mathew and for those in the US who have it all to come.
I have family in Florida, I think they are out and safe at least I hope so.
Mathew is a big one and at grade 4 now, God keep you all safe.

We moan about the weather here but least we don't get those extremes. Having friends or family in hurricane/typhoon prone areas is worrying. My wife is from the Philippines and one of her brothers and his family were caught in Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, one of the strongest typhoons ever recorded. There was a major panic on as nobody could get in contact with him/them, I was on Red Cross websites and God knows all what. He finally managed to contact the family after travelling about 30 miles to get a mobile signal, thankfully they were all ok and had got off very lightly with only minor damage to their house.
