Just found out. Wind speed was
130km/h
What kind of wind is this?
I was forced to jump out of my bicycle in a 5km ride twice!!! The wind made riding along a straight road impossible. I am not a lousy cyclist. I can do things like cycling without hands (including turning). But well, the wind was constantly blowing me to the side. And guess what happened after I jumped out of the bicycle…. My bicycle flew! Yes! It flew! I had to run after it!
Walking was such a chore! I saw folks holding onto the lamppost! For once, everyone was walking their bikes.
It is really bad. I can feel the ache in my neck as I had to use the muscles to keep my head in position.
All of a sudden, a funny thought came across my mind. I visualized Mr Leng flying with the wind. If I were to tie a rope around his waist, he will definitely be a good kite!
HAHAHAH!!!
If the weather goes on like this, my stamina will be built up in no time. Cycling from here to Singapore would be a piece of cake! If only I can find someone as crazy as me who wants to do it too.
Today’s news:
Schade storm
vrijdag 12 januari 2007
De storm van gisteren heeft 15 miljoen euro schade aangericht. In de provincies Zeeland en Noord-Holland was de meeste schade. Daar waren de windstoten het hardst.
Grote problemen of ernstige ongelukken zijn er gelukkig niet gebeurd. Wel heeft de harde wind voor veel overlast gezorgd. Daken van gebouwen, bomen en wegen werden door de harde wind getroffen. Ook dieren hebben last gehad van de storm. Gisteren spoelde een zeehondje aan op het strand bij Castricum. Het leek goed met het dier te gaan, met wat hulp kwam ie weer in zee terecht, maar hij heeft de storm uiteindelijk niet overleefd.
In de rest van Europa is de wind ook flink tekeer gegaan. Op zee bij Ierland is een vissersboot gezonken.
English Translation:
Damaging storm
Yesterday’s storm has cost 15 million euro in damage. Most of the damages occurred in the provinces of Zeeland and Noord-Holland. The gust of wind was the strongest.
Fortunately, no huge problems or serious accidents had occurred. The strong wind had caused huge inconveniences. Roofs of building, trees and roads were hit by the strong wind. Animals also had troubles with the storm. Yesterday, a seal was swept up to the beach in Castricum. They may not be able to survive in such storm.
In the rest of Europe, the wind is also strong and howling away. In the sea of Ireland, a fishing boat has sunk.
