my heart felt condolences CB, my own brother was in northern Australia at the time although he said the evidence of the disaster was hardly noticeable.
i felt gut-wrenched when i heard the news of your bro missing, although its very sad im glad you have found him and no longer have to 'keep thinking and hoping' for his return.
I hope your family can have a few months of quiet R&R now that this has been concluded.
Let us not forget that many others here in this very forum may also have lost loved ones, let alone the millions of families affected globaly. my love is being sent out to you all.
