Appalling Weather

The weather this week has been really depressing, especially the severe storm on Thursday. It was a Force 10 wind and the strongest gust was up to 133 km/hour, recorded in north west of the Netherlands.

10,000 rail passengers were stranded as the major railway network closed down. 6000 people were put on the emergency accommodation and 6 people died from the disaster. Our company announced immediate evacuation and encouraged everyone to go home earlier. I left office at 2pm and got home at 11pm. Can't believe it !! The worst travel experience in my life.

I shouldn't complain and in fact I should be thankful compared to others. I realised humans are so weak and tiny when dealing with natural disaster event. I can now understand better now how Hurricane stroke US.

Perhaps we don't really need nuclear war to wipe human race, a scale of Noah's flood will defnitely do the job.
