Xaver across Europe

Hurricane-force Storm Xaver blasted towards mainland Europe on Thursday after cutting transport and power in northern Britain and killing three people in what meteorologists warned could be the worst storm to hit the continent in years (REUTERS). "Xaver" started to attack Polish coast Thursday night. The maximum wind speed was not as fast as in the UK but strong enough (115 km/h). To destroy many buildings.

Friday morning was very quite in the central  part of Poland. We had some snowfalls night before. My garden looked like a very peacefull place.

Situation changed very rapidly early afternoon. Very strong wind came in a second. And it brought haevy snow.

A major storm surge threatened parts of Poland on Friday as a low-pressure system dubbed  Xaver began battering the coasts with chilly hurricane-force winds. The United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark, Poland and Scandinavia were most heavily affected by the severe storm, but cancelled flights and trains caused problems across Europe. 500 000 hoseholds had no electricity and 5 deaths were reported as the reasult of this storm. Xaver uprooted thousands of trees.

Late afternoon the wind was much lighter so I could go back to the garden to make some pics.

The storm came back in the evening but it was not as strong as in the afternoon. 

It was a very sunny and nice day on Saturday. Today it was also not so bad and I will show you some pictures of my garden tomorrow.
