More bad weather

[Jeff Grossman]

I am now reading travellers' reports on which makers have been hit hardest by the frost. And now there are more reports of destructive weather:
- frost in Nahe
- hail in Mosel (esp. Graach but also Hatzenport, Wehlen)
- hail in Morgon, Fleurie, Chirouble
- a whole grab-bag of heavy weather in Cognac (and Chablis, again)

And floods in Tejas and tornados in the Plains and earthquakes and mudlsides galore and tropical storms and and....

The pictures from Beaujolais are devastating. Vines stripped bare of leaves and branches and sometimes even bark.

Yes, really terrible looking.

I saw one photo of rows not 10' apart where one has vines that are green with little bunches, the next vines have yellow leaves with no fruit, and the next are stripped bare.
