Just a short, and very uninspired, weather update:
We’ve had so much rain over the last four days or so, that some dikes (not the lesbians, but the embankments of earth and rock built to prevent floods) are on the point of breaking through. And since the Netherlands are not called the NETHER lands for nothing, for the most part our country actually lies below sea level and only our dikes (no, not the lesbians, although I’m not saying they won’t come to the rescue if needed) are keeping us from drowning, these are exciting times.
Also, there’s currently a Code Orange in place for our part of the country, because of the North-Westerly storm.
I haven’t had much sleep last night. Our house is surrounded by trees and the wind was blowing so hard that it sounded like we were continuously about to be hit by oncoming trains. Or by falling trees.
When they give us a Code Red, we’re all about to die.
Or maybe not.
Fortunately it looks like the weather will calm down. Apparently we’ll not be getting much more rain and the storm will ease after tonight. Phew.
Hope the weather is better at your end of the world.
