Central Europe is drowning, btw. It's been raining non stop since Thursday, and the temperature drop has been so extreme that there's been snow in the Alps, meaning avalance warnings in the second week of September(!!!). It's storming since Friday, winds up to 100 km/h.
Vienna is about to be under water. Many Austrian, Czech and Polish villages are under water. People have died.
A week ago, it was 33 degrees out and we hid from the sun. Today, it's 8, which feels like 3 with windchill. We had the hottest August ever, the most nights where it didn't cool down below 20 ever. And now we're freezing and drowning.
And in two weeks, Austria will likely elect a far-right climate change denier as its prime minister.
I guess it's too much to hope that people will think twice about electing the climate change denier two weeks after climate change punched us straight in the balls and kicked us while we were down.
Well. Who knows. Maybe sanity will prevail, somehow.
In the meantime, I just hope the water stays out of our cellar and the power stays on. Keep your fingers crossed.
And for everyone affected, stay safe!!
