My heart goes out to you all. Just watching that chain of awful weather and what you all end up with is profoundly moving.
Just to lift your spirits a bit, I've found out what's causing it.
Its terrorist's. Osama Bin Laden has cornered a mass of butterflies in the Amazon and he's got them all flapping.

I hope those big men are as quick getting the help to you all as they are in talking and politicking about it.
                     
                        Best wishe.
