Leersum – It started to blow a bit on June 18 last year, so Emmy Luijendijk (80) wanted to close the window for a while, but then saw a huge black cloud full of branches and waste coming towards her house. And her husband Lex (87) was just working in the garden. “I called my husband very loudly. Fortunately, he was just inside when the storm passed over our house.” In the minutes that followed almost all the tall trees in their garden were blown down, the car was crushed, the rose pergola collapsed and the broken roof tiles were everywhere. us still recallable images.”
