Aan de Pretorialaan in Rotterdam-Feijenoord is in de nacht van maandag op dinsdag een explosie geweest bij een voetbalclub. De schade was daarbij aanzienlijk: een plafond van een overkapping stortte in en ruiten zijn gebarsten. Er is voor zover bekend nog niemand aangehouden.

Speaking of which, wind speed and direction must also be considered, along with overall and “feels like” temperatures. For the cherry on top, I’ll compare notes with a loved one’s app if they use a different one, quietly mistrusting theirs, and simmering in silent rage if theirs wins.
I’ll admit, though, that my compulsion to check my app (I long ago chose WeatherPro, which I knew nothing about, but liked its layout and name) is borderline neurotic; I fret over probabilities and outfit appropriateness, when I could simply step outside for real-time hyper-local accuracy.
