    @Dónal MacAonghusa:
    As long as everybody is safe and well down at the local Christian Caucasian yacht club, that’s the main thing.

    @Dónal MacAonghusa: the article quite clearly states re Indonesia “there were no reports of any casualties or any major damage” maybe read the articles in future before you start crying like a little baby.

    @Dónal MacAonghusa: true. Reportage is very poor in over populated countries. However, it’s Mother Nature’s way of putting things right that humans are putting wrong.
