A storm is pretty when, while you're at a warehouse sale at a publishing company in the crowded stairway of an old building - high ceilings, white walls, grand archway - suddenly a column of leaves rises up right in front of said archway and then is suddenly blown all across the book-searching people.

A storm is not so pretty when, on your way home, you've just reached Schlebusch when the entire train service in all of Northrhine-Westphalia is cancelled. Schlebusch is about the most ass-end train station on my way home, and the fugliest.
Luckily, they didn't cancel the buses, so two and a half hours later I actually got home after an idyllic trip through the beautiful storm-tossed Bergisches Land through towns with such charming names as Unterberg ("underhill"), Hasenmühle ("bunny mill") or Bauermannskulle ("farmer's hollow").
Problem is, that scenic tour ended in Solingen centre. This would be good if my car wasn't left at the main station in Ohligs. *wibbles* I hope it's safe on the railway parking place. I suppose it wouldn't be any safer in our street, but at least here I'd notice when something dropped onto its roof... >.<

Now the boyfriend has to get home safely. *wibbles*

Be safe, keep away from windows and doors. How are the kittens holding up?

In the beginning, the raced through the flat madly whenever a particularly strong gust of wind could be heard/felt in the shutters, trying to get away from the scary sound, I suppose. With time, they got used to it and curled up around me. ^___^
How did it go for you and yours?

Oh, we lucked out. It was a bit stormy, but not really scary. Not even Juno-the-cat hid under the bed.

Jo, eben! Denn von Schlebusch aus hätt ich auch nicht zu Fuß gehen können... bin schon sehr froh, dass die Busse da noch gefahren sind! Die Nacht war wohl ruhig, oder jedenfalls bin ich nicht zwischendurch aufgewacht. Wobei das nichts heißen will, ich hab auch schon Erdbeben und Zimmerparties verpennt >_>
Wie ist es denn bei euch gegangen?

I hope all went well for you, this looked terribly scary, and while we only got a bit of a ruffle here from Kyrill, it was scary enough.

It went ok for me. I think our mountains protected us a bit, though there are some trees and roadsigns that didn't survive. But driving to work I saw a lot of damage more impressive than what we got right here... all in all, it was a bit more than a ruffle, but still ok.
