Hear hear! Over here in Britain we're known to grumble about our rather non-descript and notoriously fickle climate, but we rarely experience extremes and they are never anywhere near as severe as those which hit the United States.
It's sobering to see the horrendous pictures from the South and to realize that climate-wise, we actually have mnch to be thankful for.
May God bless and protect everyone involved.
