Storm Ciara


Storm Chiara has arrived, with an amber weather warning for Cornwall.


Trains are cancelled.
Flights are cancelled.
Trees are down , roads are closed.
Gales of up to 90 miles an hour are predicted.

Power is out in many villages.
There are flood warning in many areas.
Some National Trust places are closed.

The Falmouth lifeboat went out to rescue a man on a German tanker, with winds of Force 7.

We are prepared . Hot soup for lunch.  Torch at hand. Candles ready. Hot water in a flask.
There is more bad weather to come apparently.

We pray for all the rescue services who will no doubt be risking their lives to help and rescue people this weekend.

Aftermath of storm Ciara was worse than expected here in the Netherlands. A new storm is coming soon (Dennis). Greetings and we are always safe in His hands.

Weather can be so brutal and there really isn't anyway of preparing for the worsts other than to stay home with plenty of supplies to make it through. Here we have snow and more on the way. February has been very cold and with more snow than I can remember in a while. Stay warm and safe.
