The day after "Kyrill" hit Europe

[ChrisH]

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.

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.
