Update from the house of Plague (Day Fnarg Year 3) 18th of February
I'm fine, life is just whooshing past. And at the moment, so's the weather:
Storm Eunice: Three people killed as strong winds sweep across UK
Photos here, mostly from the coast: Storm Eunice reaches the UK. Some are just extraordinary.
My internal measuring stick for storms is 'Jólaódnin '88' (The Christmas Storm '88) in the Faroes. I found an article here - it's in Faroese, but if you scroll down you there is a video of the aftermath in a village, with almost every house being damaged in one way or another (mostly roofs blowing off). I remember it well, I did not get much sleep. Although at least our roof stayed put, one of my friends got dragged out of bed in the middle of the night so she could help her brother and her dad hold the roof down. (Note: Houses in the Faroes are built to withstand a good deal...)
Anyway, re. Storm Eunice at one point a record gust of 122mph was measured on the Isle of Wight. During the Christmas Storm it measured winds up to 138mph, and then the measuring tool* broke.
I hope everyone is safe and no more trees fall on people.
*There is probably a word, but I am too tired to think of it

We've been fine, although Darcy came to pick me up after work and chose his route very carefully, doing his best to avoid roads with many trees... (And this is why I posted, I didn't want people to see the news & worry.)
i got sucked into the Big Jet TV memes along with twitter
Looks fun! Have I ever showed you a picture of the runway in the Faroes?
