eyewitness ccount during a real world catastrophe.

I suppose its a bit like some scot giving an account of the floods in Boscastle given by a third person who was actually there, the info is still info no matter who is giving it.

Not much different to listening the news / reading the newspapers is it?

I think Hurricane Rita has come to visit Bude today! Brutal outside here. I had a dumpy bag with a few logs of wood in there - bloody thing's completely vanished!! I wanted that too...
