Europe has hurricanes?

How is it I’ve lived on this continent for over six years and never realized this? But apparently, that’s just what this lovely little storm has been, hitting Germany and other countries much worse than Switzerland.

Here we had a night of howling winds and sideways rain. I kept a suspicious eye on the large trees outside our windows, but so far everyone seems to be still vertical.

The sun just came out, and the winds have died down some. I’m not sure if this is the end or the eye, but I’m going out to get groceries now (not because I think they’re going to run out of wonderbread or anything, but because I have to walk to the grocery store (how non-American is that?), and carrying heavy groceries up the steep hill home would be significantly less enjoyable during sideways rain).

  1. I suppose this post just provides further evidence to support my “I am not a weatherman” theory, doesn’t it?

    BRING ME SOME SOUP!
