Just heard from Alan (Mudcat name: Tropical Al) as follows:
thanks for your concern. We are OK & the house survived after a torrid night - more details later. Will post something to mudcat when we have more time - big mess to clean-up. Couldn't communicate before as we had no power or pidgeons. Complicated systems fall apart rapidly when one component fails.
cheers alan
Sorry to put this above the line but a few Catters have emailed me asking if I had heard anything and not everyone strays below the line.
