Pretty bad here and there

Jazzy n Lol

Wow! That's pretty bad Tres, I was here for the Christmas tornado of some years back, nothing on that scale though. Last night we had some winds and showers, but today it's boiling again. I wonder how Val, Novo and Flutterly fared?

It was quite shocking to see the news - especially since here, yesterday and today are very bright and sunny, blue sky, no wind, just normal hot summer days: 32oC yesterday, 30 today, must stay in the shade, or go in and out of the water.

Not good that,now the weather is a thing that man and his machines cannot control.
He just has get out and pick up the bits.

You have to feel for the people in the area.

That's pretty unusual for that area - is it the Hautmont just south of Calais?

Having said that, with the way the human race seems hellbent on destroying the climate balance, I don't think anything should surprise us anymore.

We had a tornado in Teignmouth, about 5 miles from me, a number of years ago, it tore up a street and took the roof off a church. Some "act of god" that was.

I briefly heard about it on the radio this morning, but didn't realise how devastating it had been. That's awful.

Thanks for asking Jazzy. It rained heavily for a few hours here yesterday from 3 pm until 7 or so, but nothing like that.

Val's in Canada at the moment so I expect she's either freezing or boiling hot; there's never anything moderate in Halifax.

Flutterfly will have to report in on her own, but she should be ok judging from the map on tres's link.

Bye for now.

To be expected after all the hot weather.

I will be in La Rochelle from this weekend for a week. How warm is it there at the moment and does anyone know what the forecast will be next week? i find the usual yahoo, BBC, Metchecks aren't all that reliable.

There's a hell of a storm in Paris right now - I can feel the vibrations from the thunder under my feet as I type. They started in the early hours of the morning and have come back now (later this afternoon) just at the point I need to go out to La Poste.
