Checking in...

[darkhavens]

I'm fine. A lot of you know I'm not in London, but I woke this evening to find worried email and an SMS, so I'm just giving a wave to let you all know I'm here and safe and totally shocked, because the email and SMS were the first I'd heard about this.

{~{~{~{~{~hugs and vibes to all affected~}~}~}~}~}

And now I'm off to check in on all the Londoners.

This stinks.

I looked at my LJ map and saw you were safely out of harms way, or at least this harms way. :-) I know what it's like though -- I grew up in Florida. It's a long narrow state, prone to hurricanes. Every so often a bad one would make a mess of part of the state, and somehow people always figured that it was affecting where we lived too. Usually more than 100 miles away. :-) I am glad you're ok, but I hadn't worried about you. See that you stay that way!

Those maps are useful things! And I have some friends in Florida and I know I always worry when a hurricane hits even if it doesn't look like it's come close. *g*

I'll do my best to avoid trouble, be certain of that! ;)

For Florida, knowing where your friends live, and what they live in, should make it easy to check and see if a hurricane is effecting them. Living inland is a good thing. Living in a house rather than a trailer or a manufactored home is a good thing. Apartments also, in general. Not choosing to live in a highrise building built on filled in ground that used to be bay (ocean) is a good thing.

If you worry during hurrincanes, check with me if you like. I weathered a few. Mostly they were an inconvieance, and sometimes some fun weather too.

Earthquakes or mudslides may effect me here, but so far in the six years I've lived here I've experienced neither, which is better than hurricanes for where I lived in Florida, or acts of terrorism in general. :-)

I hope tomorrow is a quiet news day!
