LiHD Family Globally:
Praying for your safety 24/7. The globe is under serious turmoil.
I have never experience an earthquake but in school we did many engineering analysis on how to "build structures" that "survive" well. The engineers in california and Japan as well as a consortium of architects and experts that is all they do, those people are my Heroes.
I've survived every Hurricane to hit the Caribbean since 1976. I rarely was out of town whenthey came to visit.
When in the NE I arrived in time for the worst winters on record (at that time).
Now i see the snow ins and icy roads and cringe but I know for my skiing and snow boarding enthusiasts we take it all.
Cheers to you regardless of the threat you face: Tornados, Floods, you name it, Emergency Planning & Response on a global scale is my life.
Stay Strong, Cry, Inspire yourself.
With you until I can't anymore, literally, kairy
