Dagmar!

Yes! 'Dagmar' hit the west coast of Norway last night! 90mph winds recorded in our marina! 123mph winds recorded a little farther north of here. Trees down, shipping-containers blown around, some structural damaged and its blowing again tonight!

Weather's been around a lot longer than us.

Our ancestors used to go into the cave and make smoke, fermented wotnots and babies for winter. Seems like a plan.

I expect they grunted about the weather too.
