Might be because it's a European storm
It's actually called St Jude storm in England. In Sweden it's called Simone
With us, it is just the storm of October 28th.
Two people died because of it in the Netherlands, so bit more than the average bit of wind. Did not let my girl go to school by bike today either. Was pretty sure not all the debris would have been cleared, and trees secured. It's a pitch black first two kilometers. When I took the bus to the town we normally go to by bike, I noticed lots of fallen trees and branches. And lots of debris on the not that much used bicycle paths indeed. Think I will again go by bus tomorrow. And hope for clear paths on Thursday.
