we have a real storm at the moment in the netherlands! the wind is howling like crazy and we saw some big tree branches broken off already... trains are not going (or less), and flights have been cancelled as well. ah, and the check of our leaking roof (which happend over 2 weeks ago now) was cancelled too; too dangerous to climb on the roof right now. they will come tomorrow. right....
i guess in boston such a storm would have happened with more preparation prior to it; shops would have been emptied of milk, eggs, bread and water. and candles of course...
our roof is making all kinds of noises. i do hope it will stay attached to the house..... ;)
the above picture was yesterday, by the way. then it was a bit stormy already, with very dark clouds. but the next moment it was sunny again. only to be followed by very heavy rain... and sun again.... in the US, many highways dont have lights, like you can see here. and i always thought; oh, in the netherlands the highways are so perfect, and always very well lit!! now guess what; just recently the government decided to shut off the lights around 9 in the evening, to save electricity and repair costs etc... so our roads are very dark now too.... grrrrrr

Fine capture with feeling.
Stay safe. Looks like the storm is heading for the South of Sweden now.
Yes exciting times here too, best to stay in. Those dark highways are scary indeed, such a stupid and dangerous decission of the government.
One doesn't fool with storms like this. Stay inside and stay safe. Have a bucket or two handy for the roof!
I read about this storm. Northern Europe doesn't often experience storms like this. Be careful!
Nasty storm but a beautiful shot of the clouds.
