Well, while Austin was shut down for a snow/ice storm, Munich was shut down Thursday afternoon and Friday for a wind storm. Seriously. Apparently hurricanes are not just over water, and some of them don’t even have any rain! The S-bahns were partially shut down, as they run above ground – trees fall over the tracks, and it takes a while to get them off and the train running again. All over Germany it was actually quite serious, with many deaths. And in Berlin, the new train station had a few problems – including a girder that fell down – how, I’m not quite sure. So, trains all over Germany were having a hard time getting were they needed to go, not to mention the airplanes. Ah well, all over now – back to school and work for us.
