tomorrow holds hope


together lives are rebuilt


compassion is shown

    This is so indicative of storm behaviour Carol. We are having dreadful flooding in parts of Australia and you have simply put the scenario of how this go from start to finish in a nutshell. Very descriptive. Well done. Pam.
