Was that a mini rapture??

That was the last joke about that. In all seriousness, 100 lives lost is a sad occasion. And the reality is that this phenomenon will occur more frequently. I haven’t studied for weatherman but it seems all global weather is more extreme the last years.

This year in the Netherlands started with a very cold period, by our standards, followed by a hot spell in April and early May. At that time of year that was unusual for us but in a way very pleasant. But I fear the next months. We haven’t had a serious rain period for months. There’s no water shortage here at the moment when it comes to drinking water, but the agricultural world is feeling this.

And the first forrest fires we had were quite severe. (Glad to tell you that some arsonists have been caught and also have confessed.)
