[Idyllchat] Rain in Switzerland

[Ray Nagle]

Bob/Roy,

I just returned from Lungern and was there 1 - 15 August during the
flooding. I saw no evidence of a mud slide. A rock slide had occurred
sometime during the previous year, but it happened before the rains during
7,8, and 9 August. Our landlady did not mention it to us either if it 
occurred.
