Hi Aquagirl - we are all fine here in sunny Toronto - Lydia, David and the rest of the staff are fine as well though they live in damaged houses. We had modest damage from the hurricane - front window blew in and therefore the rain so well need to replace a lot of furniture and appliances so some retailers in the USA are going to be happy. We think we will be open for Christmas but some of the other houses had more serious problems and there may be a lot of noise around Christmas time. cheers Brian
