Take care, Gerry!

Thanks for your concern.

I'm fortunate enough to be living in a place that's safe from flooding and mudslides. Not as fortunate are people living in the "lowlands" which may include those just less than 20 kilometers (7 miles) away.

We do get drenched with strong and continuous rains.

Thanks again.

Gerry
