Yet another natural disaster has hit and caused catastrophic devastation and loss of life – this time another earthquake and in Chile. Fortunately Chile is not as poverty stricken as Haiti and the damage is not as severe in Santiago due to the better standard of building in that city. However the death toll is 147 and climbing and nothing can diminish the tragedy in that.
Tsunami warnings have been issued to the eastern coastal regions of countries across the Pacific Ocean which makes me wonder about the northern beaches regions of NSW in Australia. My son lives on the NSW Central Coast, ten minutes from the beach, and I have been trying to call him to warn him about staying away from the beach for a day or so. Waste of time…
Of course people are flocking to the beaches to see if any sign of the killer waves has shown up, if the tide has pulled back out to the horizon, if a wall of water is heading their way. What makes people do this kind of thing? send out a warning and people ignore it! anyway, William is not answering the phone right now and I can guess exactly where he is at the moment…sitting down at Terrigal Beach on a sunny Sunday morning checking out the waves – or lack of them. I hope he saw the news this morning – and he will cop an earful when I DO get through on the phone!!!
