Storm
 Photo Album: Wind |
Schools are closed in Fuglafjørður today because of the storm, and most of the busses have stopped running. There have been gusts of wind up to 125 miles per hour in Kambsdal, the town just a mile or so up the road. I think I will stay home today.
This morning I have been sitting here at my dining table watching the wind. The storm has mainly been blowing across the bay and into my dining room windows. I can watch the wind whip up a wall of water and blow it across the bay. The photos would be more effective if I could let your hear the sound it makes when it hits my house. When I take pictures of the wind, my main goal is to get the window closed before the storm hits my house. Sometimes I can stand in the open basement door to watch a storm, but today it was blowing right into the open door, so I didn’t stay there too long.
It is snowing today, but I can’t say that the snow is falling - rather, it is blowing horizontally. Most of the time it is blowing from north to south, though on occasion it blows the opposite direction, just for variety.

Thanks for the pictures. I went to another blog that I visit often to get news about the Faroe Islands and he mentioned the weather was bad. So I figured you would have pictures.
You do such a good job of bringing the site and feel of the Faroe Islands to everyone.
By the way here is the blog I read, along with yours on a daily basis.

That doesn’t sound like too much fun. Bundle up, stay inside, and enjoy some tea.
