Aftermath

There was a storm last night. Not just a bit of rain that got your pants wet as you were cycling home, but a real "blow you off your bicycle into the canal" storm (OK, I didn't go into the canal, but riding was impossible). The winds here were 60mph with some 90mph gusts. Windows at IHE shattered. Shingles were flying off roofs. The Dutch shut down their trains due to downed trees and power lines, so some students had to stay in Delft (with friends of course) rather than returning home. We even were sequestered within the building for a while. And there was talk of dikes breaking. But once I made it home, I spent my evening happy as can be hanging out with friends and baking. Not a bad way to ride out a storm. http://www.dutchnews.nl/news
