Vent Violent Saturday 24 January 2009

It is so windy today. We went shopping at Go Sport in Toulouse for ski clothes for me and Andrew. Andrew said he could feel the wind moving the car as we drove down the road.

The wind was blowing like crazy. When we got back from Toulouse at about 1.30pm we had no power. So the wind must have damaged something, blown a power line over or something.

Patrick, a friendly French chap in our village came to warn us to get the kids inside because the Mairie (village council) had issued an Alerte Rouge. The kids were outside in the wind picking up sticks for firewood. Patrick said the power was going to be off for a while.
