Kia Ora,
::) Weather the storm...Boy did I weather 'a' storm last night....
Last night I was walking home from the bus stop, It was dark, raining cats and dogs, bucketing down along with strong winds, flashes of lightening and loud thunder claps, (you know the kind that shakes the ground) flash floods-you name it, it was happening ...I had an umbrella [fat lot of good this did], as I waded through the water in my track shoes I got soaked to the bone....But...I have to say I enjoyed every minute of it...
But in saying this, my heart goes out to those poor folk in Oklahoma...
