Whenever a major storm makes headlines, I’m bound to run across entirely too much footage of stomach-turning airplane landings, and Ijust can’t with that, you know? Storm Ciara is no exception.
The UK has been battling harsh winds, and over the weekend, they took a toll on a prized possession at Rare’s office. The studio itself is “unscathed,” but Storm Ciara managed to break the Kazooie statue.

Banjo, on the other hand, is busy grinning like a madman, ready to collect your soul.
Update: Kazooie has been rescued for repair and will be back to eyeing everyone sassily as they drive into the car park soon.

Also, Banjo is okay.pic.twitter.com/M2pVXiMTN8
For better or worse, the statue looks like it’s straight out of a late-’90s time capsule.
