With all the news on TV lately about the extreme weather conditions affecting
the East Coast of the US, the mud slides in the Middle East and South America,
along with the dire predictions made by such films as 'The Day After Tomorrow',
we shouldn't forget that Finland has its share of devastating weather recently
too. I've attached a photo illustrating the damage caused to a friend's home
from a storm that passed through the south of Finland two nights ago. It really
makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take things for granted.
