Natural disasters always cause us to reflect on mortality and the frailty of life - despite how big and powerful we might feel as a person compared to mother earth we're nothing.

The latest news of massive flash flooding in Portugal had me once again reflecting, the second report mentioned it was on a Portuguese island, though they didn't name the island but that got me concerned, and finally last night watching the CBC news I caught that it was in fact on the Island of Madeira, home of one of our longest running clients Tony De'Nobrega.
