Glad to see you're finally using the scientific, metric system of measurement and not the outmoded feet, inches, miles etc.

'Glad to see you're finally using the scientific, metric system of measurement and not the outmoded feet, inches, miles etc.'

This is based in the UK and the article was from deutsche presse-agentur so that's why they are using units of measurement that are completely irrelevant to the lives of the people effected by the storm.

In terms of being 'scientific' the USA put a man on the moon and a spacecraft out of the solar system using 'feet, inches, miles etc.'

For people who want the measurements in good old imperial and not european monkey gibberish here is a converter:
