CoTT 2 House of Cards

[clochette]

Ciaran seems to have done with us but what a day it was! 1,2 million homes woke up without electricity this morning, mostly in Bretagne where a peak of wind speed was registered at over 150km/h! 104km/h in Amiens! Here at dad's it was howling like hell from 9am to 5pm. The top of the greenhouse that had a little hole is now fully opened but no damages to report

It's hit the UK too, the Channel Islands and the south coast have had the worst of it. Apparently it is now travelling north over the rest of the UK, but hopefully weakening as it goes north 🤞

Southern England and The Channel Islands have had the full force of it, recording the same wind speeds. I'm hoping that it's less severe when it gets to the north. It's due to hit The North West, where I am, sometime in the morning. 🤞

So Europe isn't a democracy. Figures...

Many European countries are constitutional monarchies… some are yet to follow the French in chopping off the heads of all the aristocrats but I hear it’s a popular idea in Texas

Oh, right. I was confused at first, and then I remembered that "pants" in the UK means "underwear" in the US.

Wow, I’m glad it hasn't done too much damage. We had a windy night last night (official weather alert) but nothing like those winds

Luckily it missed The North West, it went North East and is now fizzling out over The North Sea. On the news they are showing the damage to houses and cars in The Channel Islands and the south of England. Some houses have had the roof ripped off by the storm, windows have been blown out in houses and cars, and chimneys have been toppled and trees have been uprooted, some landing on houses and cars causing major damage. 😧

Good morning everyone . Afternoon and evening to those across the pond .

Cheeky brat . Btw, how was Max's Halloween? Did he have a good time? Did you confiscate half his chocolate bars?
