After Ciara, now Dennis

The west of Europe has barely recovered from storm Ciara, and now Dennis is heading to the British Isles! They are already suffering from it, with high seas, lots of rain and a stormy wind. Two people died in it already.

Here in Belgium the storm damage caused by Ciara was not too bad. Only one person died, by a tree falling on the roof of a car. Of course some roofs have gone (and other items) but all in all there was less damage than with the storm of 2019, when a wind hose raged along the railroad, skipping from left to right and vice versa (and luckily missing our side) when some houses were totally destroyed.

At our house, there was no damage at all. One thing to be thankful for, having an almost 100-year-old house. They were at least strongly built and the roof has slates, which are more sturdy than what they use nowadays.

One again I've made my preparations for the coming of Dennis. Let's hope everything will go well once more!
