I'm hearing some reports on the radio of awful storms in France, Germany, Spain and Portugal.

Hope all you peops in those areas are staying safe and warm.

Hi Moonstone,

Thanks for asking.

I'm lucky enough to live in Provence, and there was nothing at all here. But they said on TV that at least 45 people were dead because of that storm, mostly in Vendée and Britanny. Unfortunately, it is possible there are more victims. My father, living in Paris, told me it was OK despite the heavy wind. Apparently, the storm has already passed there and it's getting better.

I hope everything's OK in the other countries.
