The day after "Kyrill" hit Europe

[Barbara]

Yesterday at 6 when I drove home it was 16 deg Celsius (that would be 61 Fahrenheit) ... not exactly how our January is meant to be.
But of course it's freezing in California- that's what happens if you get yourself an Austrian governor

No damage here. The wind missed us altogether. We got a bit of snow, but that was all. It was enough to prevent me getting to work though. Quite a few blocked roads, so I had to turn back and spend the day with the cats. They were quite delighted when I came back and put on the heating.

My husband had more bother. He was in Newcastle yesterday, and the whole of England had very high winds. There was a speed restriction in force on the trains, so he had bother getting back, but eventually they put on extra trains to move everybody.

I assume that Wales also must have caught the wind, but I'm sure I saw Chris posting this morning.

I wanted to thank everyone for the pictures. I knew it was bad, but I
didn't realise how much property damage (and worse for those killed) also
happened. The pictures of the sea's surf was stunning.

I am glad none of you were hurt.

You can have him back if you really want him!

I was off doing my thing on the East Coast and missed this news. Glad to hear all are well.....if a bit late getting home (I can relate!)

Where's Randi?

Hey he's Austrian- so he's not mine anyway

No thanks! Here in Germany, we already had our share of Austrian politicians!

I saw this on the news and have to say that I think the pictures that you posted gave more of an idea of the massive and intense effects of this storm. My first thoughts were of all of my European Pet Talk friends. I am glad we have heard from most of you and will be relieved when we hear from Randi and Chris.

The weather in the U.S. is very abnormal also as you have no doubt heard. What on earth is going on?

I am glad to hear about more good news of our European members
Yesterday was quiet, no wind at all. Today it started again and woke me up this morning; It's pretty strong now (may be the Lancelot Kirsten was talking about?) but compared to tursday it is nothing.

The kitties are not scared at all. Peppito even insists to have a walk outside! He did not realise that the noise we hear is due to the wind But we will not accept his request, of course

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.
