Ramblings of a Dutchy in California

In April 2003 I traded my hometown of Haarlem, Netherlands, for the San Francisco Bay Area and a career in tech journalism and high-tech public relations. But work isn't the only reason I like the area, as you'll see on this blog, which will primarily have photos and some personal thoughts.

Dallas Weather

Prior to joining McAfee I had never been to Texas. Now I am a regular visitor. What never ceases to amaze me here is the weather. On every visit I have seen the most amazing thunderstorms. You can be soaked in seconds and moments later the sun will be out.


On final approach last night the pilot said we'd have to be in a holding pattern for 20 minutes to avoid heavy weather at the airport. This morning a colleague reported that there was a major storm just a few blocks from downtown with flying patio furniture and tiles from a nearby roof as dangerous projectiles.

So, I am happy to be working in my hotel room this morning. I'll see how I get to where I need to be later this afternoon, probably a taxi instead of a healthy walk. Don't want to be hit by flying debri.
