We are now living in Cape Town

After a horrendous 2 and a half months, of heartache, we have finally moved down to Cape Town to be with my sister.
The day after we moved I heard that there had been a terrible storm in the area of Natal that we lived in, a Tornado blew away homes, uplifted trees, and killed 9 people including children, I would hate to know what happened to the farm house we were living in but I dont think there would be much left of it, as we had 5 huge old Avocoda Pear trees in the yard around the house, and they must have been blown down by the wind, possibly causing damage to the house, maybe this was God's way of saying to us that we had to get out, before it was to late, Even the furniture removal van arrived a day early to take our stuff, We spent that night at a friends, and the next night at a B&B right near the sea, before we got onto the bus on the 12th November to come to Cape Town. The trip by bus was not very comfortble as I was packed in with my belongings, and could not really move very much, It was a long trip, and travelling through the Free State, and the Northern Cape, we ran into a violent storm, There was incredible flooding in the wine lands, with rivers roaring like an angry sea, Homes were washed away, and one young girl lost her life, because she did not want to miss writing her Matric exams. So with in two days, we missed the storm that destroyed our home, and drove through another that destroyed all the wine farms.
Unreal, but true.
