After The Storm

[poliphilo]

I felt really edgy yesterday. I put it down to the high winds. I stepped out mid morning and there was a plastic bag sailing over the tree-tops and a tin can racing down the street like a little, yapping dog. After the storm had passed we found two slates in the front yard. Later this morning I'm going to have to go scan the roof with my binoculars and see where they came from.

We´ve been following the effects of the storm as it plowed through. Quite scary, and I saw some rather nasty looking flooding in the UK but didn´t catch exactly where. Any idea where that was? When you start losing your roofing you know it´s bad. Still, I hope it was just those few slates for you.

The North West seems to have caught the worst of it. There were a couple of deaths in the Manchester area. I didn't see any reports of flooding, but there was a story about an entire clasroom- fortunately with no-one in it- that was lifted up into the air, then dropped.

I think I've located where the slates came from. It doesn't seem like anything to get unduly worried about.
