I haven't heard from him yet but that's not unusual. We can go weeks at a time and not talk because it's still, as he puts it "strictly 3rd world here". I've not been there but he only has a dial up internet service at work and very spotty cell coverage. He has to drive closer to town to get a signal.
checking the NZ/Australia papers and I see headlines like this..
"Two strong quakes shake Vanuatu; no reports of damage Tsunami warning passed".
He's fine. I'll catch up with him in a few days.
Thanks everyone. I wasn't in a good mood last night. That's a big quake. A "flatten everything, kill all the people" type.
No worries.
