Re: [RingworldRPG] I managed to get out of New Orleans

Jay

Hadn't realised you were from that neck of the woods -- glad that you and
Joe are well - We're watching with horror at what happened. It could
happen anywhere in the world. We had a very small hurricane rip through
Birmingham in the midlands of England a few months ago and it mad a mess of
a small area. It appeared from nowhere and disappeared almost as quickly.

David.
