Zurich Storm, late June 2022

 Switzerland, like much of Europe, had record heat  and drought in summer 2022.  

On 29 June, walking along the Lake of Zurich to escape the heat, the clouds looked like tornado clouds.  People along the lake were unconcerned.

A few minutes after the first picture, very strong winds blew in from the south.  The rain was not far behind.

4-6 movies a day plus beer can make one sleepy.

The scene at the Milan airport, below, makes one nervous.  I got covid there or on the plane.
