Around the world in 80 years.. How I've met Friederike the Hurricane.

in streetphotography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Yesterday I was a witness of some unusual situation , it was a little piece of hurricane Friederike. For now I stay in Germany, in an area named Ruhrgebiet and day before yesterday we got bad weather forecast.

But we wasn't expecting so big storm. Wind was sometimes till 200 km/h it's around 40 m/s. I was waked up because some pieces of tree just scratch a window in our flat with scary krrrkrkrkrk noise. I drank my coffee, take camera and run outside.

It was look a bit like in some Apocalypse movie - many police and fireguard, transport not working, roads are closed, and not many people on the streets.

For everybody, it was or scary or pain in the ass job, only journalists and guys like me was in great mood I guess, so much interesting material!

Of course, it's a tragedy some people died and many properties was destroyed yesterday. A lot of people were trapped and can't leave to other cities. Trains and buses was not going anywhere. But it was interesting also what to say.. Storms always have strong energy what is good to experience sometimes. I think so..

I went to one concert of my friends yesterday, and I was nearly only guest there. Maybe 20 musicians and 2-3 persons around, was funny. After a concert all of us musicians and public were going to the bar, to take out stress cause of extreme situation around, and we all was super drunk.. Still drunk to be honest...
