Fierce Storm Batters Europe
belbbmfan:
hey everyone
over here in Belgium a lot cars have been damages by falling trees, no fatalities that i have hear of.
But in Antwerp, a boy got hit on the head by a flying piece of wood. He's now fighting for his life :'(
We're all safe and sound at home. Let's hope this passes quickly...
Thanks for your thought!

I just called my friend Alex in London. He is okay and he told me he plans on staying indoors.
Melissa (mvansand76) is okay too. She just sent me an email. Hopefully she will post a message later.
Now I am going to make a few more telephone calls.
To all our European Bettermost family... please check in and let us know you are safe. We're worried about you!

Hi there, everybody! :D
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.
:)

Anke, good to hear from you! Glad you're safe, although you have to stay at the office for the night. But that's the best thing you can do now.
My children were sent home from school today early. The closed all (? guess so) schools at noon and instructed the children to carry their bags or satchels on their heads on their way home :o. In case of roof tiles coming down. I have to admit that I had to laugh about that, although it isn't funny.
In the news I've heard it was especially bad in GB and northern France. Had to think of Kelda and Isabelle. Hopefully they're all right and safe.
Thanks for you thoughts to all non-Euro-Brokies :-*
Edit: Hi Fabienne! Somehow I've missed your post. Glad to read you're all right.
j.U.d.E.:
Thank you for your post David!
It has been windy for some time now and today was particularly bad. I was on my bike (just out for lunch, no big distance) but I had to stop once, from fear of being swept off from the bycicle path onto the busy road next to it.
A few tiles fell from the roof of my mother's house and the fence in my garden suffered a little, but other than that, it's ok in my area. I've seen pictures of pretty bad incidents though. They say it will all calm down after tonight.. ?!
