This little island was the victim of some horrendous typhoons during the

summer, none of which found the ears or interest of the international press.

For comparison, wind gusts in T15 were almost double the power of Sandy 

which hit the US west coast and caused such a fuss and mess.  

In all we were hit by five major storms one of which broke all records and 

a lot of buildings. Heavy ceramic tiles on our roof were tossed off like leaves 

and trees completely stripped of their branches.

Many pictures have been published on blogs and in local media so I won't 

show any more disaster scenes. But this one photo stirs my soul and, although 

only a small part of the overall damage, is symbolic of the winds that hit Yoron 

in October.

Can you imagine what would happen if anyone was standing there waiting for a bus!?

(I can't, especially as buses don't go past there.)
