Fierce Storm Batters Europe
David In Indy:
Well, I'm really happy to hear you all are okay. We still haven't heard from Nicky (England), Kelda (Scotland), Steven (The Netherlands), Isabelle (France), Michela (Northern Ireland) and a few others. I sure do hope they are okay too.
It's so weird to hear about a hurricane in January. I've heard people say it was Catagory 2 strength. If this was June or July it wouldn't be so weird. But in January? I've never heard of such a thing. And it's killing people over there too. :'(
Let's just hope all our Euro-Brokies made it through unscathed. I'm sure they did, but it's always nice to know for sure.

I'm glad to read most of our Euro-buds are weathering the storm well.
Thinking of you all. :)

I am awake wayyy too early in the morning and the howling wind has died down. I haven't yet gone to check to see if there are any branches lying on my car yet on the other side of the building, but as all of my German friends predicted, we did not lose electric power (got a flicker about midnight though!) and did not lose internet. In fact, irony of ironies, my connection was more stable at the height of the storm than it was on a sunny afternoon this week!
Temperatures are ridiculously warm.
Meryl:
Thanks to all our Euro Brokies who reported in and let us know you're okay. I hope the damage in your respective areas isn't too bad. What a weird year for weather! :P

I've been at work in my Würzburg broadcasting station all day and we were quite busy updating the news about storm preparations and damages in our region. Several trucks have already been blown from the Autobahn in my area, countless trees fell and blocked the traffic on the streets. Afternoon lessons for all Bavarian kids have been cancelled today due to the storm, and practically all public buildings closed in the afternoon. I, myself, am spending the night in my broadcasting station. I'd be stupid to drive home tonight in the hurricane only to come back here in the early hours tomorrow morning when I'll have to work again. I'm fine. I've got television, a computer, potatoe chips, a glass of wine and a couple of online friends... ;)
Everything is fine here.
:)

That's great to hear, Anke!
