Freckles, yes, "Kyrill" is the name of the storm. Actually you could almost call it a hurricane, I think. There's going to be another one this weekend that's called "Lancelot", but that one's not supposed to be so extreme...

Sonia, that sounds bad, I saws pictures of Utrecht on the news, it looked horrible. I'm glad you're safe, and I think it was a wise decision to stay at work. That was much safer than being in the car!

Lut, glad to hear you're okay!

kittycats_delight, so the storm didn't hit Italy at all? Maybe the Alps stopped it, and it moved eastwards.

Has anyone heard from the other Europeans here? Barbara, Randi, Killearn Kitties ...?


Here are some more pictures from Germany, hope they show up:
