Sadly, the terrible destruction on the Eastern seaboard of
the USA caused by Hurricane Sandy is an all too familiar sight! It’s unthinkable that New York, the city that
never sleeps, has closed down, with power failures, public transport
cancellations and wide scale flooding.
No matter how advanced we are as a society, nature can always give us a
timely reminder of our fragility, be that with an earthquake, volcanic eruption
or perfect storm. Thankfully, for the
most part, evacuation procedures seemed to have worked, although tragically,
there has been some loss of life. Our
thoughts are with everyone affected
