During the weekend we got a very heavy and disastrous thunderstorm with lightning, storm squalls and strong rain showers. One of our Jurte (big scout tent) was felled within a second, and we lost the complete CW-logbook - but nobody was injured!

Fire - of course lighted at a regular fire place - will be seen on an island critical ever.
So we have been visited by a delegation of the islands fire brigade, in order to see what had happened


OZ1RDP 03 Schlechtwetter   OZ1RDP 03 Kutter im Hafen
During the week-end there was a heavy storm with thunderstorm, storm gusts and strong showers (the drops fell horizontally - honestly).
Even the fishing trawlers searched protection in the harbour of Havneby.
On Sylt a camper died under his camper, in Skaerbeck the tents of the Viking's camp flew away.
With us a storm gust snapped the wooden side seaweeds of the Jurte near the 3ele-beam. In the fraction of one second lay the whole tent on the ground and buried the CW radio station under itself.
Luckily nobody came to damage and the transceivers could go - after they had dried in the oven - again to work.
The only loss which it was a matter to deplore was the CW logbook... remained in the storm missing.
