I had a disturbing experience this night, I don't know where to post. So I join it with my millipedes, they are affected from this incidence.
Today it was planned to collect new leaves and wood for my millipedes. It would be very necessary because the street to this wood was closed for weeks and I noticed that the leaves I have still at home smell like perfume :wideyed:. Something dropped in the bucket
.
But tonight we had a really heavy thunderstorm here and I am not sure if I should visit a wood after that.
It was crazy. The storm had speeds up to 130 km/h, many trees are broken, 2 people died and ten people are insured, some very seriously, because a big party tent from an official festival in another city was crashed by the storm.
In our neighboring village something had burned.
Directly in front of my balcony there is the tree-top of a big tree, the sound of the storm in this tree was not a howling, it was a screaming. Absolutely unreal, we live here in a very sheltered environment. Thunderstorms are rare.
I was afraid that this tree would break and fall to my(our) balcony(s). Lightning all the time, like a stroboscope lamp in a disco, heavy rain. On my balcony itself I had no problems, because it is sheltered from the house walls. It wasn't even wet.
In our inner yard one of the big firs broke. The dove-couple lost their home again, and I saw only one of them sitting on the rest of the broken tree, it looked very bushed. I really hope that both of them are well. I love this doves. Last year they were pruning the big tree in front of my balcony, that was for minimum 6 years the home of this doves.
Electricity is back again (there were up to 150.000 households without electricity, some are still without electricity), but internet doesn't work. I have internet now from my phone. Satellite tv doesn't work too, as same as the railway. No train since tonight, usually there are up to 240 trains a day.
I tried to make a video from the storm, to catch the screaming tree and the permanent lightnings. Unfortunately it doesn't really work, I couldn't catch the noise as it really was, nor the lightnings. Bad phone cam.
Now I need to go shopping for the weekend. I am curious how the city looks like. It was the heaviest thunderstorm I experienced since I was child. Really unreal and fascinating at the same time. Unleashed nature. 2013 we had one of the highest floods here since a few hundred years. I was in the lucky position to live on a slight hill. No water here. But a big part of our small city was land submerged. The usual water level is here about 4 meter, during the flood it has been 10.7 meter.
Sorry when my report sounds confuse. I am still excited.
