[Sincity09]

Just ride out the storm Cat and be safe! I’m glad you prepared and have elevation above the coastline to protect you.

That said I hope you manage a few photos (safely) just to show the power of the storm..

Here in Canada I live in the Great Lakes region, and while we do not have hurricanes, we do get strong gales. The largest lake, Lake Superior is as big as a small sea, and has claimed many vessels.

This song is based on a true story of a ship that challenged the November gales, and was lost with all hands. The shrine is not far from where I live. We respect nature’s fury here.

The warning here is that "Don't go out if it is not necessary and really important". I have to take my youngest to feed and take care of a horse. It's inside but the way there can be an adventure.
Beautiful pics!

In straight bird-line.. - we are 800 meters from the coast!

But yes... Knowing that the waves will be more than 5 meters tall!!
.... My curiosity is probably going to get the better of me today... But!! No walking through the forest, driving!!

"Storm, with hurricane gusts" and "The water levels increasing to 180-220 cm above normal sea level"

... Our little idyllic forest island is located in one of the worst affected areas.. With coastal line directly to the Baltic sea.

Today the strength of the wind will be between 28-32 m/sek with gusts reaching above 38 m/sek.

No thunderstorm though just storm and water surge.

Be careful going out today, you two.

Happy cows

What the area looks like,
With only 30 cm water surge

Today,
The water will rise to 200 cm above normal sea level.

Stay dry,
Stay warm,
Stay safe.

The cows, and wild horses have moved to higher grounds, we are doing our best, to protect them,​

MOOOOOOOOO glad the storm is gone said the cow

Weather report: #whoiscountinganymore

How is the situation?
Earlier today..
Yes..
I had to do it!
This weather does not happen often!

Literally.. it is more than 100 years since
We last had such a storm surge of this calibre
In this part of the country.

I went to the beach!
Obviously..I chose the biggest and safest one!!
There are two rows of dikes,
The biggest is 3 meters tall and 10 meters wide.
They are safe!
Safe...

The weather girl

So,
How did it look?
Standing on the biggest and safest dike.

https://imgur.com/a/iOwI5gN

Oh!?
Taking a step back..

https://imgur.com/a/92j35RF

The waves...
They ended up..
Breaking the last dike!
There once were two rows of dikes.

The weather girl flees the area.
Sorry about the sound quality,
My phone was apparently not that waterproof.
The red eyes
- wind, salt and sand

Now?
Snuggling under my warm duvet,
Feeling so ever complicated.
We do not have to evacuate,
We are the lucky ones.

You got wind burn and it looks super chilly too.

 

[Cat]

You got wind burn and it looks super chilly too.

Oh yes!

Wind burn.. soaked.. the mix of waves hitting me over and over.. And the storm giving extra power to it all.

.. The houses up there, they are all evacuated, sleeping in the sports hall.. among thousands and thousands of people tonight.

Whole city centres have been flooded, a powerplant got flooded! Yes.. There are huge areas without power.

It is that mix, storm with gusts of hurricane levels, an unimaginable storm surge.. And everything in the dark.. And cold, with very heavy rain.

.... I do not really need to experience that again.

Be safe and hope it passes without much damage to everyone. Can't control Mother Nature for sure. When she is pissed watch out.

We are the lucky ones.. two cars got caught under falling yes this evening.. one with children in.
- they were trying to evacuate from the water!

Luckily, they were close to a hospital. A freaking huge ship (300 meters, not feet.. meters long) tore itself loose in a harbour.. and damaged another ship..

And so on.

Yeah.. Mother Nature needs to.. work something out, and then hopefully.. tomorrow, when we all see the sun rise.. the ocean will be calm.
Still flooded.. but, calm.

Everything gets easier when then sun breaks!

Good morning cat! How were your night?
It was ok here. A lot of wind of corse but we went to bed and listened to the weather until we fell asleep.
It doesn't look to bad in my garden. Some broken pots is all that a first inspection find.

I hope the families that got falling trees over them are ok and the damage is only to the cars.

Gray weather with rain today, but the wind is almost gone.

 

[Sincity09]

Great news! You didn’t come out totally unscathed, but it could have been worse! Stay warm and dry and I hope the power goes on for those without, and that most people can return home soon.

Sounds like it will be a long clean up.

Wonderful images, you’re a brave person!

 

[AngelicaS1780]

I'm glad that the weather girl fled the area and returned home safely. I hope that your phone has dried off as successfully as you have and that everyone there is staying safe and warm.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Ooooh. A big storm. I hope you’ve remained safe!

 

[cinnamonNY]

Hope everything is well for you

After the storm.
Something about sunrises
- they are hauntingly beautiful.



After the storm,
After the storm surge,
After the fear.

Comes life,
Once more,
Never stopping,
Relentless and soothing.

Do not stand still
Do not look back
You are not going that way!​
