I can’t even begin to explain it, but tracking the news of natural disasters has been a lifelong obsession. When the (reported) 8.1 magnitude earthquake struck this morning near Tonga, I held my breath as I listened to the ongoing reports coming in about the possible tsunami that might have resulted.
Thankfully, nothing happening. Fiji was in line for a possible wave, so this is doublely good news as Laura has extended family there. I even mentioned this to Rebecca that it’s times like these that I kinda wish we had Fox News on our cable package, simply for the fact that they treat situations like these as if the world was ending. Compare their website to CNN and you kinda get what I’m saying.
The same comparison could be made of other news websites, but I picked the two of the more popular competitors in the U.S.
Thanks for the concern, John. But the fam-damily are all okay as far as I know. My mom’s sister is living in Suva right now but I didn’t hear anything from my mom or my cousin. So, I’m assuming all is okay there. You’re right. I have umpteen million relatives in Fiji. Amazingly enough, I have just as many here.
Thanks for keeping me informed!
