We just received a sms message from Joni, sister of Lace who lives in Melbourne, and they informed us that they are okay and the city just experienced a massive storm surge, flash flood and hail storm. She gave a news site form Au. and we saw those freaky photos of the flash flood. Looks like they experienced an Ondoy Typhoon like that hit Manila last year. Btw, Happy Birthday to Joni, hope all of you are okay and fine.

Lace said that Elizabeth st. is one of the busy street and they used to go shopping and eat in some restos, but look at the videos, they are now all flooded.
