The day after "Kyrill" hit Europe

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

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.
