The storm is over.
It's the next morning and it's still a little windy, but that's it.
My daughter called, they'll be arriving at the train station of a neighbouring village between noon and 1PM. I'll go and pick up a car full of girls. Good thing I have a big car with seven seats. And a good friend who is always there when I need her, Kerstin. I told Oliver to go to her house after school because I won't be at home.
When I called my daughter's school this morning, to excuse her for today, the secretary laughed heartily as soon as I told her my name. She already knew that a bunch of girls got stuck at the youth hostel yesterday.
I'm thankful that nothing bad happened to us and our property.
Other people were not so lucky.
One person died in Portugal due to the storm.
Three in Spain.
Forty-five in France.
Four in Germany.
Nobody knows yet how big the damages on property are. Trains are running again on most routes, but some are still blocked due to damage.
I'll post an article and some pictures later.
