Brisbane, Australia got smashed with a surprise rogue storm yesterday that has caused hundreds of mllions of dollars in damages. Winds over 90mi/hr have left nearly 100,000 without power. Massive hail falling from the sky causing extensive damage....
Also in Australia... earlier this week a professional cricketeer was actually KILLED on the pitch by a ball! Cricket is a rugged sport you know... In cricket, the pitcher (called a baller) is allowed to hit the batter. Its a part of the game. So, the baller threw at the batters head... the ball came smashing into his neck and the man died on the spot! Australians are mourning the world over!
In other news... guess who is going to Caramoan next week? I just got notice from our Administrator that there is a disaster conference in Caramoan and Carlos and I are to attend! How exciting! Caramoan is about 2 hours away by bus or boat and is wonderfully remote and wild. In fact, two US and at least 2 French versions of the show Survivor have been shot on location there. I have been dying to go.. and now I will be going for free, courtesy of Lagonoy!!! Of course, we might just have to stay an extra night so we can get some island hopping in the itinerary! Looks like we will be leaving on Wednesday, conference Thurs thru mid day Saturday, stay over Saturday night and back to Lagonoy on Sunday
heres a link that explains why I am so excited: www.caramoan.ph
Yipp!
