Two days after the storm, I’m sitting in an Indian restaurant waiting for my chana masala. The city center is cleaned out and life goes on. But in the most hit area the houses still don’t have any electricity, our internet is still out and there’s no TV service.
A powerful message, also because it's a rare one from our time, rather than the future you usually write about. Reminds me of a similar storm, probably less harrowing, that happened two years ago in the south of Austria, where part of my family lives. When we visited some weeks later, workers were still busy carting all the dead trees off the forested mountain & the elderly were saying exactly the same thing: that they'd never experienced anything like this before...
Just came back from a hike and it’s the same here, so many fallen trees covering the path, we had to climb over the trunks. It’s quite scary how much damage was done in 10 minutes. Thanks for the feedback, it’s good to know that real life stories are also welcome.
Very impressive work Claudia. I appreciate you bringing some real-life stories into the Museum of Life. The line between climate fiction and fact is rapidly blurring.

Over here, the Grand Canyon Lodge just burned down in a wildfire.
Oh 😥! Was it a historical lodge? I think I read something about it…
Yes, one of the gems of our National Park system. It would have been 100 years old in 2027-28. (I know that’s young by European standards.)
I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s a pity 😟

The museum archives are growing. I’m happy you like the concept. Might open the doors to contributors at some point.
