We are all survivors ;-)
A code orange had been declared. Which is manageable in theory; but, of course, orange can turn into red at any time during the day. Then it's more walking then cycling, or much better: staying home!
The gusts were not constant, rather sporadic (at least when I had to cycle through it), the wind itself was strong but manageable, and the wind was blowing in the right direction too. Let's just say I got off cheap this time.
