    The affected beach towns are still very much on the allert, because the weather forecast announced more rain. About 4.000 people are homeless. Some of the people with houses in danger are getting back, because they donīt have anywhere else to go.

    re: Campbells - might refer to the Robbie Burns tune https://www.scottish-country-dancing...re-coming.html

    Lol, hadn't heard of Hack and Hew in my scripture study... we did have a wonderful poet named Hack who used to contribute to LitNet.
