Typhoon update

[BunjaeKorea]

So the wind got into the greenhouses and ripped off the roof.
No one hurt. But some trees are damaged and some decided to go for flying lessons .

Wow, looks like it could have been quite a bit worse, but sorry for the trees/pots that got damaged. Glad no one got hurt!

Too bad...

So far, we don't have typhoon here, but when there's a storm and we lose some tiles on the roof (It never happened to me, but some of my neighbours had had this sad experience) of find a broken pot with a tree with broken branches, it can be very distressing.

Bon courage, I hope it won't be too bad, that you can fix things rapidly.

"some decided to go for flying lessons" : good to see you've kept your "vis comica"

Thanks a lot of folks came to help after so things have tidied up a lot.

Fortunately things won't be too bad and those that went for flying lessons seem like they will make it.

Thanks for the nice words though!

Good to hear it's not to bad for you.

I watched the news on TV. For us here the Bahamas is a remote place where reality-TV programmes are shot, sun, sex and rock-bottom stuoidity.

The people there live on several islands, in many places, people have no home, no food, no idea of what's the future for them because theyve lost everything. Including relatives that have been washed out with their earthly possessions. It's really terrible. No one can be indifferent.

I used to play this song by Joseph Spence, the only tune I've ever heard from the Bahamas. It was easy-going, open D tuning, very cool.

Many different versions on the web, I didn't know it was so popular outside my microcosm

How can I help?

Pray? That would be hypocritical. I think it's like homeopathy.

I mean, for years I've contributed monthly for a small amount to severals NGOs (not "charities", echhhh....)

We went to the Bahama's last year for our anniversary. It was beautiful, and the people there were lovely, friendly people. I didn't see any reality TV stars, nor any rock-bottom stupidity. There was sun and as for the other one, well it was our anniversary.......... Seeing the horrific damage there hurt my heart for all that live there.
