Well, we weathered the storm and have come out the other end without problems. Apart from a town-wide bindance and some stray litter, nothing much has been damaged as a result of the storm. There was a fire in the town overnight, but that was not related to the wind. It has claimed one life.
The winds continue to cause disruption on ferry sailings, as more gales (this time of force 8 only) are forecast, particularly further south.
Sunday dawned grey and cold, and when I went out for an exploratory walk at lunchtime, some pretty heavy snow was falling. Temperatures are too high for it to settle.
Glad to hear you weathered the storm just fine.
ReplyDeleteHappy to know you came through the storm without any problems. Sad about the loss of a life in the fire. I imagine it would have difficult to extinguish with those high winds.
ReplyDeleteI like the addition of the clock showing your time.
We are all happy to hear that you came thru the storm unscathed. But what a shame about someone loosing their life in the fire. I wonder if the wind fueled the fire and made it worse? Have a good Sunday evening Guido...Linda in cold & foggy Washington
ReplyDeleteIs this usual for you to have such gale force winds in January? Sorry to hear about the fire and the death resulting from it. I hope your weather settles down this week.
