Well, this has been silly. Things haven't been any worse than a regular set of thunderstorms. The media have done thier usual job of finding molehills and making them into mountains.
"This thing isn't quite over yet" - Yes. It is. This is no more inconvenient than a day of snow in the mountain areas. Life goes on, and things must be done.
I'm enjoying my day off, allowed play sanctioned hooky, as it were.
