This Time It's Personal

Yesterday a hurricane (or cyclone, as they call them down there) hit Northeastern Australia, striking an area where I used to live. The most damage was done to a town 60 miles south, but the impact is much wider. I know quite a few people in that region, and several I still keep in continual touch with. They say there have been no deaths as yet, but I'm still concerned.

At least they no longer live in a tin hut on the beach like they used to.

All I can do right now is wait for word that they're okay.
