my family and I are in so. France with friends for Christmas. Very intense wind rain and lighting last night. We see on the tele 140k with out power and lots of flooding around Paris.

Worst landing I have ever had the displeasure to experience. As always the press shows the worst of the worst, but no joke overall.
