Mother Nature can be overwhelming with her power and we are helpless against her. However, the other side of her gives us sunny days, soft breezes, and gentle rain.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-30108559285362439902011-12-10T20:58:04.556+00:002011-12-10T20:58:04.556+00:00these images are quite scary ...i have been so bus...these images are quite scary ...i have been so busy with my sons burthday that , yes , i live in my own bubble right now... i have only experienced earthquakes back in Greece( some of them very strong ones) and i absolutely understand the sence of helplessness but also the awe one feels in front of that power called natureerleichdahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471341634223594648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-64451097335054045342011-12-09T21:33:58.931+00:002011-12-09T21:33:58.931+00:00Kate, what a wonderful place for your brother to l...Kate, what a wonderful place for your brother to live - I do really love Scotland, and there will always be a special part of us that is forever Scotland. Indeed our eldest son was born there, and so was our youngest grandchild. The power of the elements can be really frightening in its many different forms.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-7460452715692322712011-12-09T20:20:23.213+00:002011-12-09T20:20:23.213+00:00Rosemary, this is so topical for us.

Your experience sounds such an extreme one: it is sobering when we realise the weather is a force we can't always subdue.<br /><br />My brother and his wife have eschewed the rat race and have renovated an old fisherman's cottage miles from anywhere on the West Coast of Scotland opposite Mull. They got through it ok: but our heart is always in our mouths at these times. Those pictures!

We were living in Hertfordshire. The storm seemed to curl around close by, but did not do much damage near us. I think that the Scottish one had a big impact on us, because we were a long way from our families, and young.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-36951697188227996192011-12-08T20:51:32.860+00:002011-12-08T20:51:32.860+00:00Hello Rosemary:

We were living on the South Coast in 1987 and, as you say, the strength of hurricane winds is truly frightening and the damage wreaked by them catastrophic.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
