How's it looking today, did you escape unscathed?

More to the point - do the kids get to keep the sign? :D

Haha...its got holes in it...so its only fair to let them..bit like a war medal!:D
were all ok, heaps of trees down, pavements lifted up, roofs off and the strand looks a little on the devastated side. Were still getting very strong winds. Huge floods everywhere too......but were out the other side and the spirit of the locals makes us realise why we love this place so much.:D
