Rain anyone?

[frankie]

There was a bit of thunder up here last night and I discovered 3ml in my rain gauge this morning.  Did anyone else get any?  My car windscreen was covered in the red dust from Sahara.

Yes everything covered in the dust!

Huge bang and lights went out, big blobs of rain but not enought to cover the ground

My white has a colour job over night.

I intended getting my car washed this morning but the queue was too long and it looked as everyone had the same amount of dust on as mine!  I may try again tomorrow.

Hi, had a 2 roof fires here one at los garcias and one further up the mountain road no casualties luckily. Blew my led ceiling lights out and a neighbours new ceiling fans. More new bits to buy.

I did hear/see the helicopters coming down the valley so knew there was a fire somewhere.  Glad no one was injured.
Yesterday, driving behind a car I saw them throw a lighted cigarette out of the window.  I was able to run it over.  Are people Mad?

[Judi_bk]

Not mad but stupid.  Apparently the lightening started a small campo fire in El Chopo and hit an electricity pylon

I always know when there is a fire somewhere as the helicopter base is near Seron and they pass below my house on their way down the Almanzora Valley.
