The Violent Wind and the Rough Rain

 A Violent Wind

Dansk:

Der skete en historiske hændelse for Danmark den 20. og den 21. oktober. Der blev advaret om stormflod og voldsomt regnvejr samt orkan i nogle dele af landet.

Kaninerne sad heldigvis i læ fra vinden, for vinden den kom fra Øst og i den retning er der en skov, som tog alt vinden, så kaninerne mærkede næsten ikke noget til hverken orkan eller vindstød af stormstyrke. Stormfloden befandt sig ikke i den del af landet som vi bor i men regnen forårsagede dog en meget våd og sjappende græsplæne og løbegård, så kaninerne slap dog ikke for at få våde poter.

Der blev lagt tæpper og vetbed som liggeunderlag, dyne med vandadvisende lagen på, to puder, et fleecetæppe og nogle hyggeting som snacks herunder høbid og tørrede urter blanding til kaninerne og så tilbragte jeg ellers en håndfuld timer sammen med kaninerne mens det voldsomme vejr stod på. Jeg ville være sikker på at jeg var klar til at bære kaninerne ind i sikkerhed, hvis det viste sig at træerne var ved at give efter for vinden, men eftersom at der forblev nogenlunde stille med hensyn til vinden, så var der ikke noget at bekymre sig om. Kaninerne gik bare rundt og løb deres normale ture eller spiste hø lige præcis som de plejede. Men jeg passede på dem. Kaninerne var hverken urolige eller rastløse. De havde det meget godt. Jeg lå og passede på dem. Der skulle jo nødig ske dem noget og jeg ville være klar når som helst hvis der skulle være behov for at tage Molly og Sandy ind i udstuen. De sov begge da det blev nat og da det var værst. Stormen toppede ved midnatstid. Der blev givet høbidder for når man først har raslet med posen så er der ingen vej udenom. Man kan ikke stoppe kaninerne. De komme løbende ved den mindste knitrende lyd. De fik også lidt lækker urteblanding ved siden af.

A historic event happened for Denmark on 20 and 21 October 2023. It has been about 119 years since something like this has happened. There were warnings of storm surges and heavy rain as well as hurricanes in some parts of the country.

Fortunately, the rabbits were sheltered from the wind, because the wind came from the East and in that direction there is a forest, which took all the wind, so the rabbits hardly felt anything, either a hurricane or the stormy wind. The storm surge was not in the part of the country in which we live, but the rain caused a very wet and sloppy lawn and run, so the rabbits did not avoid getting wet paws.

Blankets and a wet bed were laid as a sleeping pad, a duvet with a water-repellent sheet on it, two pillows, a fleece blanket and some extra things as snacks, including hay bites and a mixture of dried herbs for the rabbits, and then I otherwise spent a handful of hours with the rabbits while the violent weather continued. I wanted to make sure I was ready to carry the rabbits to safety if it appeared the trees were about to give in to the wind, but as it remained relatively calm in terms of wind there was nothing to worry about talk about. The rabbits just walked around and ran their normal walks or ate hay just like they used to. But I looked after them. The rabbits were neither restless nor afraid. They had a very good time. I lay there looking after them. Nothing should happen to them and I would be ready at any time if there was a need to take Molly and Sandy into the conservatory. They both slept when it was night and when the storm was at its worst. The storm peaked at midnight. Bites of hay were given because once you have rattled the bag, there is no way around it. You can't stop the rabbits. They come running at the slightest crackling sound. They also got some delicious herb mix to snack of.
