We are still unable to get through to Adams sister, she lives between
mangavat and side and of course we are worried that she may have
gone into town to watch Engand play. All I can do is keep calling

RIK

God help them.

Carol (CJD), try not to think the worst. Phones lines and networks are always jammed when there's a disaster. If it was at the waterfall, then she should be ok if she was watching the match in the town. I'm sure you'll get a message from her soon saying that she's safe and well.
