Tormenta Tropical

Awoken from my dream at 1:15 this morning by thunder and lightening. Went and sat on the terrace to watch the show, quite spectacular. Then the rain started and did it rain. 5 hours very heavy and just to add to the fun a 40 minute hailstorm thrown in for good measure. Apart from Poca Muñeca, who slept through it all, the rest of the village was up. The electricity went, the water went, the telephones went. Took myself off to bed for a couple of hours.

At first light Don Duende & I went out to survey the devastation. Mud and rocks everywhere, torrents of water still running down the streets, trees stripped of leaves. The barranco which was 3m wide and 2m deep is now full of mud. Met up with Antonio. He and Don Duende along with Antonio, Paco and Antonio decided they would go further a field. I passed. Warm duvet or cold wet rain? No brainer really.

As I was up half the night no factoid today. Here's another photo instead.
