for those of you who are unacquainted with the bora, it is a north wind that trieste is "famous for." it comes to us from russia, making it nice and chilly. today, the bora is as bad as it's been since we've been here.
it's terrifying, actually. we're having gusts of 120kph+ wind and you can hear them everywhere. walking home, it was literally blowing us into things. i mean, that's legitimate hurricane speed winds!
oh, and it just blew the shutter off of my bedroom window. oops?!
maybe school will be cancelled?
x!
UPDATE! check out this article for some photos of the bora and its damage from around trieste today. sadly, school was not cancelled, so we had to walk and bus to school today. walking was difficult and there were roof tiles and upside down things all over the sidewalks. and the bus ride up the mountain was terrifying. and now it's snowing.
ALSO, multiple people at school today (who have lived in trieste fore their whole lives) were saying that they have never seen the bora this bad before.
