    Fortunately this time the mediastorm was bigger than the windstorm.

    Well, Russia got hit hard.

    16 deaths (if I heard it correctly, could have been 6) and 11,000 people were left without electricity.

    In Sweden, a very unlucky moose got killed by, like, the only tree to fall in the vicinity...

    As long as that tops the news...

    Four deaths in the UK - that's pretty bad by our standards - largely the fault of Highways not felling old trees, though.

    Man, in the US we get a dozen deaths if it's sunny out.

    It's election time in Denmark, so after getting blown into the sidewalk and taking a dive over my bike I then got hit in the back by a local politician. Made of paper glued to a cardboard. Ow.

    Some guy got struck by a part of scaffolding outside the shop we were in, which is how we found it it was a little more than "pretty windy", but other than general transportation issues and a few deadly accidents it wasn't terrible.

    This is just so weird. I have never seen a really strong wind storm here.

    I had no idea you lived in George Osborne's voting district.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
