Czarna Białostocka

The closer we got, the more it started to feel like home - weather-wise 😂

The cyclone that had passed Germany a day before (lightning-storm), had not eased, but reached Poland.

We even got an alert on the phone about strong winds and such. Trucks on the road were swaying from side to side in the extreme sidewinds.

So in an effort to make a point, the storm fell a tree across the road some 500m before us. We were already beginning to mull alternative routes while waiting in the standstill, when young & strong German drivers joined forces and managed to break off the treetop, freeing one lane for the traffic.

At the same time a fire brigade arrived already and started cutting the trunk - some mere 20 minutes later, in the middle of nowhere! 👏🏻Läs mer
