We've been experiencing terrible weather in my neck of the woods. I spent yesterday under the covers as the rain pelted down and the thunder roared. Conditions have improved considerably today but not without taking a toll. Looks like the birds have been making a nest here but I consider myself lucky to have only a hole in the roof to worry about.
Six students and one teacher, from a college close to my home, died while on a canyoning trip. Apparently, there was a flash flood on the river. Why anyone would be canyoning during such heavy downpours is beyond me. Such a tragedy.
My thoughts are with the families tonight. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through.
Hug your kiddies and your loved ones next time you see them...they can be taken away in an instant...scary thought aye.
Love ya

How sad. There is a very thin line between letting them stretch their wings, and being overprotective.
