It was a bit windy in my town yesterday.
The hardest hit area, where I do voluntary community development work.
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

moonlit, I hope there weren't too many casulties (my browser's playing up and I can't get the links to load), and that things get back to normal as quickly as possible. And that you're okay-- it must be scary to have that sort of thing happen.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The press reports I saw said that - remarkably - there weren't any injuries. Is that correct, moonlit?

No-one was seriously injured, just lots of property damage - houses, cars, trees - quite a few elderly, public housing residents were pretty shaken up and scared. It was really LOUD, wind, rain, hail, roof tiles and timbers, flash flooding all over the city, power out for ages etc. I must admit that I've never experienced such a ferocious storm before.

Moonlit, so glad you checked in! I was worried about you when I heard the news.

I'm glad you're okay Moonlit. Was looking at the aerial photos at work today, and they showed the destruction pretty clearly.

For the first time ever, the UnAmerican's delayed BtVS scheduled. is coveted by millions of viewers from North America. Cindy enters the UnAm thread, thinking, "Maybe if I stay here, Buffy won't yet be over for me, either."

I had an open and close tag in there Julie. I just went in to check.
Buffy? She'd shag a vampire. I wanna know my options.
eta - the whole post was in italics on purpose, but I did have the close tag in there.
