An October 2026 week of Stones and Storms …………………….
Winter storms started being named in the UK in November 2015, with some names more familiar than others.
Many have visited the Rehoboth in the past seven and a half years, however Storm Beolo* which paid its visit Saturday/Sunday not only had the most exotic name, but was probably the noisiest as can be seen on this video from yesterday:
We are still impressed that our three (full) watering cans in the foreground were impervious to Boelo.
Thousands of leaves were blown around, benches were moved and some old branches were snapped, but thankfully no real damage. There is plenty of fallen wood to collect tomorrow and any additional help would be greatly appreciated.
* Why Storm Boelo? The name Boelo was chosen by KNMI (Dutch weather service). According to the Met Office, it is a rare, almost extinct name from the East Groningen region of the Netherlands, passed down through the family of the person who submitted it.
