Storm Eunice: Rare red weather warning issued for parts of the UK

3. And this means we get it a few hours later

NL has declared that as of 14:00, no more trains run. I got to Utrecht an hour late, worked like fiend, including about 40 minutes of live translation back and forth between Russian and Dutch, and some subsequent paper work. Since the express train I usually take was canceled, I got a local from Utrecht to Arnhem, and from there, another local from Arnhem to Düsseldorf, on which I am now. We made across the German border by 13:15, so I’m clear back to Düsseldorf.

If all goes well, I’ll make the commuter train to our little medieval town outside Düsseldorf and be home at about 3:10 PM, about ten minutes later than the weather service said to be under no circumstances outside of your home. But everything is late in Europe, including the weather. I should make it home OK.

If I don’t, don’t forget to vote in November!
