It has been a year where nature has ruled,

she has entered with tremendous force.

At each point on the globe we have seen storms

that approach us yet at times are surprised by it all.

I can recall the lashing storms in U.S.A, the torrid

cyclones that displaced families to the distance

of China and Japan which was horrid for us on

the other side of the world to digest.

One remembers japan as a muddy and oily Tsunami,

one of which was huge and yet the country experiences many

disasters we are told.

Australia was a scene of storms especially in Queensland.

There were later floods through the city c.b.d area as well

as the coast line which is always at risk.
