Update

[arysteia]

My sister just managed to speak to our dad. Our grandmother is okay, our aunt's house is completely destroyed, and one of our cousins is still missing, no one can get hold of him. My aunt is beside herself, obviously. No word on our other uncle and his family. We're all going a little crazy with the need to free up phonelines and the lag on

*hugging you really hard right now*

*hugs 'n' smooches*

All appears to have come good personally, though clearly the news is grim in general.

oh hon, I was so hoping to come home to posts that everyone's families and friends had been spared, I hope you receive good news soon. Everyone on this side of the ditch is thinking of you guys *hugs*.

[arysteia]

It *sucks*, dude.

My folks are okay though, so I'm selfishly pleased.

Thanks, Lyn. *big hugs*

Nothing selfish with finding joy and relief at good news in a horrible time.

[arysteia]

*double hugs and smooches*

I really hope you hear more soon (and that the news is good). Best best wishes.

[arysteia]

Everyone seems to have turned up, so selfishly things have turned out okay. Okayish.

Thanks. *big hugs*

[deepbluemermaid]

I hope you hear from the rest of your family soon *hugs*

[arysteia]

We got the good call. I feel lucky. *hugs back*

Oh dear, I hope everybody is all right. You're in my thoughts!

[arysteia]

Thank you, I appreciate it.

We managed to get word that the family is okay, so I am selfishly very pleased. But oh, the town... the people...
