We had some trees blocking the road and a 2 hour power blackout in Bavaria, where I live.

Very scary stuff. Here in Holland we too had very bad weather. A friend lives on the 15th floor in an appartment and it feels really weird to feel the building shake when i was there.

They have a typo in it :p

"Deutchscher Wetter Dienst", it has to be:
"Deutscher Wetterdienst"

@topic
Though I live in the south-western region of Germany, it still was very windy. Some trees were blocking the road leading to a massiv traffic jam in the morning...

I woke up in the morning from a raving thunderstorm. Then I spent all day inside and didn't know that this was going on until my mother phoned to check on me. :o

Apparently it's going to hit Britain on Sunday night, but tomorrow will be dismal enough. So I guess I won't be going shopping for computer-related stuff (or DVDs) for a change :(
