Contrast

The weather today has been somewhat calmer and we even had some sunshine.  However, the disaster continues.  There have now been three deaths, and one person is still missing.  The extent of the damage is huge.  I was in tears watching the news tonight - so many people have lost everything and have had to be evacuated from their homes.  I just can’t imagine how awful that must be. A State of Emergency is still in place.  More heavy rain is forecast for the next two to three days.

We managed to get out for a walk and some fresh air late afternoon.  It was very hot.
