The day after "Kyrill" hit Europe

Hubby and I have been reading all through these posts this morning and I am so glad to hear that those I "know" from here are OK. Still no word from Randi in Denmark?

Yes, US weather also has us talking. Here in Ohio, we still have fairly mild weather and there is usually snow by now. Last week there was an evening that it was 50 F up here and in the 20's with ice on the ground down in Texas for my dad and daughter Sirrahsim. That is over 1000 miles south of us. It is very eerie.

Thank you so much for all the news and pictures. All of this makes me want news of my PT family.

I am getting worried about Randi too! There are lots of scaffolds at the building where she has her appartment in, I hope they didn't cause any damage!!
I went to the centre of our village this morning, and I saw lots of damage on roofs everywhere! The fire-brigade was blocking the traffic to reach some of those :eek: ! At a building site I saw that lots of the scaffolds were scattered all over the building site...!
Please let us know if you are allright, Randi...

Randi has been logged on every day since Thursday. She was just on an hour ago, so I expect she just hasn't seen the thread.

Hi everyone! I've been busy drinking cocoa in the Doghouse. :D

We did have a storm a few days ago, but nothing compared to Germany and France. It's been pouring with rain all day, but it's passed now. :) Here's proof: http://www.dmi.dk/dmi/radar

So....I'm safe and warm. However, the poor girl in no. 2 (next to me) has had her whole kitchen ruined due to badly covering of the roof. She lives on the top floor and doesn't even want the extension upwards - and she lost her mother in November. :( She also has two cats who now have to eat in the bathroom. She will need a whole new kitchen installed.

The scaffolds are still up.

Hello, I have heard nothing about the storm till just now. How sad. I lived in Freiburg Germany for two years (1976-1978) and my aunt and other family are still there. My parents came here in 1957. I am glad to hear that everyone is safe. Please take care. Monica

I think it was really one of the worst storms we ever had for years- but as always- it can be very different just 5 miles away.

Maybe Fister could invite the kitties over for supper? I would hate to
lose my whole kitchen.

I'm glad that you are doing fine. Sipping cocoa in the Dog House huh? :D

Randi, I'm glad to hear you and Fister are fine, but I feel sorry for your neighbor and her cats!

Luckily, we came through it fine in my locale, apart from lots of noise - scary - and some debris scattered about. Such as fragments of smashed glass in my back yard/garden. There were very tiny pieces mixed in and it was spread over uneven and muddy ground and took quite some time to pick up. Happily though I'd had the foresight to check out there before I let Bob out. :)

Thanks to those who thought about me. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...s/grouphug.gif

Chris, glad to see you're fine!! But wasn't it just scary? From what I saw on tv, there was a lot of damage in the United Kingdom, it looked just terrible.

There is more damage to our garden than I thought :( . Several trees and bushes are uprooted; Bernard bought some wooden piles and hopes they will survive...!
This beautiful rhododendron simply cracked off and is now completely ruined :(

we found the cracked off part on the other side of the garden.... :( :(

I'm very sorry about your garden, Lut, and especially the rhododendron! They are such beautiful flowers and I'm sure they will be missed in your garden.

Yesterday, I passed by the house of a family I know, it's a beautiful house that had two old chestnut trees in front of it, but both of these trees came down during the storm. Now the house looks totally naked and exposed, very sad.

I'm so happy to hear that all the European PT'ers are okay. Those photos are just shocking. Looks like a hurricane and a zillion tornados all rolled into one.
