But it sounds as if good precautionary measures are in place.<br /><br />I am back at home now to the wettest rainy season in history...and this weekend a cyclone coming down the coast is to bring enormous swells to our beaches...nature is awesome in its beauty and its force.<br /><br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.com
