standing out in the storm

Hello there my friends. Christmas is soon over, and I've had a great time. My dad and brother has gone home, but my mom, my sister and I are still here. Yesterday we had a storm called "Dagmar", and oh my gosh, I've never experienced something like this before. It's not like a little bit of extra wind. Let me tell you the whole story. Yesterday we woke up quite early, because my nephew was going to be baptized. We went to the church knowing it would be a storm, but nobody seemed to care much. We said hi to the priest, went to change David, my nephew. And then the church service began. When it was over, we ran to the cars, because of the big amount of rain pouring down. But since this is Aalesund, it wasn't anything new. When we came back to the house, we started making food. Well my siblings, my parents and other did. My brother, my little sister and I stayed home in order to watch David. And by that, I mean I watched David. It was then I decided to never have kids. I can't stand baby-cry. Anyways, I finally got him to smile and play, when the others came home. Everyone changed into something nice, and went to the venue .. the lovely venue. The party started, and the food was delicious. The venue was an old house by the sea, and as the storm started, we could see the boats going up and down, up and down. And the rain that slammed against the windows. One of the doors was opened because of the strong wind, and one said "Okay, I'm officially scared now". And so the party ended a bit earlier than expected. I was on "food-duty" as my sister called it, I was responsible for bringing the food back to the house. And do trust me with this, do not wear a dress out in the storm. It will not look anything like a glamorous Marilyn Monroe-moment. Anyways, we got out of the venue, my dress flew up, and I couldn't do anything about it, because my hands were full with plates of food. When we finally managed to bring all food home, put the trash-cans in the garage, put the plants and other decor inside, we sat down. But the windows at the house looked like they were blowing up, so we escaped to the second floor, where the windows are a lot smaller. The power went off and on, and then it went off permanently for awhile. Poor David, and the dogs, who were scared to death. David managed to fall asleep luckily. My sister and her boyfriend, who lives here, and are the parents to David, got calls from concerned friends and family. And we got news from people every hour. Their chair has gone missing. The window broke. Something from the roof were damaged. A fire started. And then today, when I woke up, I saw a broken trampoline in my sisters garden. It does not belong to her. And then I saw a large broken tree in the forest behind the house. And then we heard that one of the windows on the venue we were in last night was broken. Plenty of boats are broken, there are missing things everywhere. A complete chaos in other words. And it's not even done yet. Oh no, Dagmar is not leaving us. In this exact moment, I can hear the storm building up again. In case I die, I just want to leave my belongings with my family. Okay, joke. But seriously, this storm is real. And I've seen videos that the storm in Aalesund city was worse. The sea blew up on the streets, hitting cars and everything else. I'm not sure if there's even electricity there now. Poor people. Well, I started knitting socks for David, last night, when the electricity was gone. I'm glad, though, this is a really cool experience for me. I've never seen anything like this. Maybe I'll post some pictures tomorrow. I'll go take a picture of the damages outside.
