I hope for the best as well, however- we will experience an El Nino soon. The El Nino is going to cause a temporary shift in weather patterns- causing Southeast Asia (which is typically quite humid) to dry up a bit. Also there probably won't be too many typhoons to make landfall this season either. I'm sure it will effect the tea production- but to what extent I cannot be sure. No worries, El Nino is a perfectly natural weather phenomena that is to be expected to happen once in a while. Things will be back to normal sometime in 2010 I'm sure.

I just heard on TV this morning (China Central Television) that all the survivors have been reached. People left homeless are all at least in tents, with emergency rations and fresh water, so no lives are in danger.

I just emailed with Scott and he says they felt it in Kunming but no damage.
