WTF!
This weekend the storm 'Emma' blew over great parts of Austria. It did a lot of damage and some people got hurt and a few even were killed. But after all we are very lucky not to have such catastrophal disasters in our area as there are in other parts of the world!
On Saturday we went to Vienna to see the Queen-Musical 'We Will Rock You', a great birthday present I got from Julia. Whe we started in Wiener Neustadt sun was shining and it was rather warm. So I didn't think it would get so bad on the way.
Half the way to Vienna we met 'Emma' on the freeway. The the wind was fast and hard, the embedded rain wasn't falling straight down or a bit tilted by the wind - it was coming nearly horizontally!
In parts it was hard to keep the car straight on track. Worst was that it came in single strong squalls. I was really glad that I have a limo and not a van or something like that.
It was the first time I had to drive 70 kph (about 44 mph) or less on the freeway without being caught in a traffic jam.
When we arrived in Vienna it was already over, just a bit windy.
