A Windy Night

It was a very windy night, last night, here in northern britain. Lying
in bed I could hear it howling through the trees outside. I'm sure
Snoopy increased the volume of her purr to drown out the noise of the
wind, she just about succeeded.

Aww! They predicted a huge storm here in southern Finland tonight; winds
of over 25 m/s (~55 miles/hour), waves up to 17 metres (~55 feet). The
sea level is expected to rise some 1.5 metres, flooding some low areas.
Last time we had a good storm around here, in December, my power went on
and off a few times. If you don't hear from me, you'll know I'm without
power (also, I should be working this weekend and not read rpca... but
if I have no power. I can't do either).

I should hasten to point out that no disaster is expected, since we are
well aware of what is going to happen, and the low lands are being
protected. I just hope the big passenger ferries that usually go between
Finland and Sweden every day don't set out in this weather.

Yes, the storm is raging outside now here in south Sweden. I just heard
noises from the other side of the house and found that flowerpots and things
are thrown around on the balcony. I couldn't open the door, the wind was too
strong against it.
The bridge to Denmark is closed and the ferries to Germany do not sail.
Well, as long as we have electricity we will do fine, Hugo Katt and I.
I bet many outdoor Christmas trees are down already. Yes, we still have
them, Christmas is over on the 13th of January here.

BC, Canada is also experiencing high winds (Gusting to 80 km/h), cold
temps & healthy ammounts of snow... Seems the world is restless.

You'll be getting the same storm, we had gusts of 40 m/s (~90
miles/hour) some people lost power, quite a bit of damage was done also
flooding in places. No damage here though and it's calm this evening. I
hope the winds decrease as it crosses the continent.

I just saw images on the news from here and abroad of the destruction
caused by this storm. It's been a whopper. Purrs going out to
Scandinavia and the Baltic countries, where it seems to have hit pretty
hard. Some casualties. Scotland too. No casualties here in Finland so
far, but flooded streets and houses.

Wow. Do you have any links? California here is getting hit hard. 8 feet of
snow in the mountains and 20 inches of rain down the coast. Their usual
*annual* fall is 14 inches!!
