Sorry to hear about that. Maybe they will find your friend and the others with only minor injuries.

Sorry to hear of that tragedy, Terry. Hopefully your friend wasn't in the area at the time.Just seen the BBC News, covering the blast at a wood processing plant not far from where I live, on Friday morning. Four people are still missing - one of them a good friend of mine, although I haven't seen him for about a year.
No matter how short the time, they become a part of our lives so the loss is just as great. My condolences.Sorry to hear of that tragedy, Terry. Hopefully your friend wasn't in the area at the time.
That makes my problem seem a little small, but still heartbreaking in a sense.
My cat gave birth to five little babies last Sunday, four good sized babies and a little runt. Wednesday morning, woke up to find she had accidently smothered a Tuxedo baby and later that day, one of the Tabbys stopped nursing. I went into rescue mode and commenced bottle feedings and visits to the bet to give the little Tabby girl additional fluids. The Vet was honest and said the little girl wouldn't last a day, but "Camilla" (named after the Camilla of Roman legend), made it until this morning, where she quietly succumbed to her failing health in spite of her will to live.
The first two kittens that delivered are growing like weeds and the runt is still tenacious as ever, but has remained the size of a mouse.
I find it interesting that of all of life's nonsense I have had to endure over the years, the passing of a tiny kitten just crushes me more than anything.
