Shine, the disrupted weather is no fun, is it? I think we are just going to have to accustom ourselves now to having totally random weather. I try to have reserves of things like water, fuel and food, and be prepared for flood or bushfire at any time of year, because that's what our weather here is doing. Australian weather has always been a bit that way, but in recent years the extremes have become more extreme, and the underlying cycles can't be relied on anymore. It's scary, but good preparation helps.
Viola, I'm glad you are going to be okay. Dog attacks are very frightening, and a traumatic experience, especially if you usually get on with dogs. Such things are usually the fault of the owners, sadly. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to own dogs. Did you get a tetanus shot? *hugs*
