Storm

[mothwing]

My brother and every other school student in Hamburg got home from school early because of the storm, which our meteorologists called Kyrill. University students are expendable, so our courses do take place, they're probably hoping for some vacant places for new students after the hurricane . At school, one of the teachers, a teacher with the driest humour, came in and said that he wanted to make a trip to the Sachsenwald today - which is a forest in the South-east of Hamburg. Apparently, he doesn't really like his 8th a lot. A lot of teachers fretted because of changed schedules and threatened art projects and the children happily went home in the rain, whooping as their umbrellas were bent to disproportionate shapes, glad to have some unexpected time off.

Last time there was this kind of storm in Hamburg, back in 2002, our basement was flooded and we spent hours bucketing water out of it. 

One of the tall, tall douglas firs in front of our house came crashing down upon our roof and bent the one standing next to it, and we had to have the auxiliary fire brigade come round to our house to cut down the tree and examine the damage to our roof, which was easily mended, thankfully, but pretty pricy all the same.

*peers at churning skies* 

Please?

Ich drück euch dann mal die Daumen, dass eurem Haus nichts passiert. Ich mach meine oblibe Buchscuhe für die HA heute lieber zu Hause als in der Uni, hab ich heute früh entschieden...auch wegen des Wetters. Zu der Zeit als ich wahrscheinlich auf dem Heimweg gewesen wäre, hat es grad übelst gehagelt.

Sie haben gesagt, dass es zwischen 21 und 22h besonders schlimm wird - da bin ich gerade auf dem Nachhauseweg von meiner einen Referatsbesprechung. Yay. Mal schauen - hoffentlich kriege ich keinen Baum auf den Kopf.
