What the hell is going on with this crazyass planet?

Cheap baked beans.

HAHAHA!

Hope you didn't get much damage where you are.

Trees came down over railway lines and some major roads were blocked by overturned trucks, but it wasn't too bad. The managing director of Birmingham International Airport (my local) was killed when a branch fell on his car.

But it wasn't really that bad. Apparently you, and possibly Poland, got the worst of it.

I don't know. I would say that most of England got it worse than this part of Germany.

Bavaria, on the other hand...

Oh my... Stay safe.

The worst is over now...for us, anyway.

WTF???

And the folks here have been going on and on about a little ice and there is a hurricane hitting there?

I didn't realize that hurricanes would hit your area.

They are extremely rare.
