Don't know if this was posted or not but I Just saw the news about that massive storm that hit northern Europe and I know there are allot of eve players the effected area(s) so I wanted to just give a shout out to everyone who is/was affected by the storm and hope that you and your families are ok.
Given the size of the eve community I am sure we have flown with or know someone from the effected areas.

I am in Scania (the southern part of Sweden) and last I heard, 73,000 households that had affected by blackouts. The coastal province of Halland is the one that supposedly got hit the hardest.
No casualties known so far. I kill kittens, and puppies and bunnies. I maim toddlers and teens and then more. |

Blew across the UK. Nothing like the storm of 87 but not a nice one.
Mind you up in the north east we got nothing, not even a rustled leaf. |

It cause alot of trouble in most of Denmark. Just not here in the north where the winds weren't that strong. I was hardly affected by it other than having a nice tailwind on the way home.
Most of the larger bridges (we have alot of them) were closed for the day. 2 Person died (RIP) and alot of damage to structures. My first pvp video: If I Survive - RR Vexors |

I was posting humorous pictures that were posted by Brits on twitter.
It is called humor you know.
Yes, it's sad that some people died. Yes. It indeed is. We know this. I'm a 48 yo male. I know this.
I guess Quentin Tarantino should have never made "Inglourious Basterds" since tens of millions of people were killed during that little world-wide escapade. We should all just only feel bad about it all for all eternity I guess, as you imply by default.
Let's get our priorities straight here.
Also, my posts were hardly "laughing at dead people". Puh-leaze
Try living in America where it is not unusual to have 1,388 people dead from these things, as in Katrina. Happens all the time. "He has mounted his hind-legs, and blown crass vapidities through the bowel of his neck."-á - Ambrose Bierce on Oscar Wilde's Lecture in San Francisco 1882 |

Actually in central europe weather is now windy and the air is really warm. 17, 18 degrees of celsius. 13 at night. I remember that year ago we had snow! Protect yourself from CONCORD today! Tinfoil hats, quality product. Styled after pirate hats. |

I fished through it on the river Ribble, was a wild night of that there can be no doubt but not in the same league as the `87 storm mentioned above, as well as the usual trees and garden furniture detritus you tend to see coming down the flow at such times I was amazed to watch one of those large metal sealed containers, of the type used in shipping and for storage, sail past me at a fair rate of knots.
For anybody of an interest..4 Barbel to 11.03 lb and a really quite large (unweighed) Eel. |

A few years ago I actually sat down to read Christopher Tolkien's 13-volume series on "The History of Middle Earth" analysis of all his father's writings and drafts.
Late in the series, it gets to a fascinating part when opening a box of papers, Christopher discovered a manuscript 150-pages long that was the start of a science fiction novel that all these years he absolutely had no idea his father was working on.
The story is about a group of intellectuals in a private discussion club (The Inklings allusion, anyone?) in the 21st century talking about a bunch of stuff, the primary of which was a great storm that had devastated England in the past.
The date given in that manuscript for this storm is the exact date that storm actually did happen in England in real life !
Christopher was of course astonished, as was I reading it. It's just absolutely uncanny. "He has mounted his hind-legs, and blown crass vapidities through the bowel of his neck."-á - Ambrose Bierce on Oscar Wilde's Lecture in San Francisco 1882 |
