Storm
5 people were slain by falling trees in Berlin tonight. 2 of them were children. The wind reached speeds of over 150 kph. At the Zoo station a weak tornado formed and had some fun there before dissolving. A tornado. A weak one but a tornado. This is ultra rare in Germany.
Our street is a total mess. There's lots of trees in my street (one every couple of meters on both sides of the road). Huge branches got chopped off some of them. There's tons of leaves and twigs on the ground. It looks like nature fought a war against us.
I'm glad I and everybody I know was safely inside.
