No we couldn't either until recently, heric. This time, at least, people in the most dangerous areas are ready. Thought we were all ready last time. Tonight many families will again move to safer places. Haven't heard what my daughter's doing but they've had lots of practice after weeks on alert. We're not in forest and we'll be home to tackle a grass fire if necessary. Lack of water will hamper us a bit but we'll survive alright. We've been told to prepare for power failures. Hope the roof stays on. This part of the world used to be such a peaceful place. We'll keep calm. Keep smiling.
Maybe in the dark.
Cheers, Joy
