There's something in the wind

Last night and this morning my thinking has been accompanied by the sound of wind and wave crashing about outside. I am outside the risk zone but can hear the sound of nature breaking up the darkness; the slightly eerie, grim sound that you get when we are reminded that as humans we are actually very vunerable to the things which we can't control.

Nature has, according to the BBC, closed Felixstowe Port and forced people to evacuate their homes in Tractor Land and shipping traffic has been halted in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. I know that in relation to bigger disasters this has the potential to be quite small, and that technology means the effects are likely to be somewhat lesser than they could be but there is still a situation here that is, potentially, not good. Please could people pray, (not that I am sure it will make much difference if I am honest - and I'm not sure I'm meant to say that - but it might).
