A friend of mine is now on Texel, one of the Dutch Wadden Islands, off the coast of The Netherlands. Sadly, the weather conditions there are very, very bad.
The perceived temperature is close to freezing, lots of heavy rain, and wind gusts of close to 100 mph (150 km/h).
They are now completely isolated, they cannot leave.
They're completely stuck.
His mother-in-law does nothing but look through the kitchen window.
He's thinking, if it continues like this, he'll have no choice but to let her in..
