Cyclone

Hello all - just a quick post tonight. The past week or so we were bombarded with heavy rains nearly everyday. We thought this was weird because typically the rainy season in Chiang Mai does not begin until June. As we were wondering why, we saw in the paper that a cyclone was passing through parts of Myanmar (Burma) and that Chiang Mai and other parts of Thailand would be getting a lot of heavy rain and some winds. The cyclone has since passed but only now the reports are starting to come out of Burma. At this point, nearly 4000 people were killed and thousands more are missing. It is a huge story over here although I'm not sure if American TV will be focusing on it. We just want to let everyone know that we are fine but to keep all of those people in your thoughts and prayers...
