I kept frantically searching the news footage to see if I recognized any family members. Scary. I hope that your family, even in the midst of danger, is keeping safe! <br /><br />@<a href="#c2131999412018697484" rel="nofollow">Mochachocolata Rita</a> Honestly, I wouldn't have done it if my mother hadn't basically forced me.
