Survived the storm. Just about.

Its been a busy few days here after a huge storm here that did a lot of damage across the whole west coast.

Millions of euros worth and 750k homes without power or water.

4 days later 250k still dont have it, ourselves included. Our whole phone network went down as well cutting us off from information and other people.

Even now we dont have anything here. Im at the inlaws for a little while to charge phones and get some data.

We had 6 trees blown down at our house alone with record breaking winds over that night.

We're told it will be two more days to get power so I'll probably be offline again for another while but happy to be back for a few minutes at least.

Sort:  

The next level will probably be the hurricanes coming our way. Here in the region, we'll also have to deal with storm surges, which will cost billions in flood protection in the coming years

Natural disasters cause a lot of damage and make life difficult, very bad news

It looks intense. Good that you survived.

Sorry to hear about it, Niall! At least you guys are safe. We got used to bad weather episodes over here, but mostly in the summer. But this looks like a big one!
