November Storm
Author: DJ24.11.2007
On Thursday, November 08th, we were given a warning for a heavy storm to hit in the late afternoon. It was such a strange weather day with sun shining as I left for school in the morning. Then I got home as the storm was coming in with fierce wind hitting my face when I got off the train. I wanted to take the train to Hoek Van Holland beach to see if I can take some pictures for Dallas Lao. But since it was so cold and windy and me having a cold, I thought it would be better to just go hide inside my apartment and wait for some pictures from brave people on the net.
This was in the news about the big storm since 1953 from the Associate Press:
A powerful North Sea weather system triggered tidal surges and ferocious winds Friday, prompting fears of flooding, but left Britain and the Netherlands largely unscathed.
In the Netherlands, Rotterdam Port halted all ship traffic until Friday evening. The Maeslant Barrier protecting Europe’s largest port was closed Thursday for the first time under storm conditions since its construction in 1997.
