Wind Storm hits Germany/Europe. BFA is spared.


Yes, as you saw in the news, we had a bad wind storm on Thursday, January 18. There are many many trees down all over the country. And unfortunately some fell on cars and people. The sign below says "Falling trees." "Do not enter." "Dangerous!"
(All pictures are from internet news service.)
The national train system shut down over night which is very rare. Most of the schools in Germany also shut down for the day. In our town the local German school dismissed at noon and sent the kids home before it got worse. However, BFA kept its doors open all day. Our area only experienced small gusts with no damage at all. We seemed to have missed all the excitement.

The next morning at school the kids were disappointed that BFA did not close school for a "wind day". My response? "Yeah, right." So much for all the excitement.
