Susan and I have been warned of possible flooding over the last few days. This morning it became a bit more urgent and people started referring to "1966", which is never a good sign. This afternoon I heard a comparison to 1920-something. It could be a big one.
Before you worry about us too much though, we have a two storey house, and the second story will definitely be safe. We will move our things up there (the landlord's furniture might have to get wet though), and if our house is seriously threatened, Vientiane College is already looking into alternative accommodation for us.
So if you hear about flooding in Laos in the news,
a) It is not as bad as Vietnam (100+ dead in the north), and our safety is not seriously compromised
b) We have lots of support
c) We (and our things) should survive unscathed
d) Everyone here is finding it exciting in some weird, massochistic way
e) There is absolutely no need to worry about us
f) Prayers for us and for the Laos people, who generally can't afford to lose things to flooding and who are generally more exposed, would be appreciated anyway.

Yair, it is getting a bit exciting. Never did like excitement :-) I'm glad I'm in a double story, and out a bit in Ban Phongtong.
