Santiago de Compostela, yesterday.

We'll probably have electrical outages but I'm sure we'll have newspapers tomorrow. I got up at 7:30 and the daily strips are already sent. This is one of them. I don't post the second one because itsn't easily understandable.

Hola, Minerva.

Tenía previsto decírtelo pero siempre se me olvida. Te agradezco las traducciones al español pero no son necesarias. Yo no HABLO inglés porque sólo conozco la pronunciación de unas cuantas palabras: sólo lo escribo (un poco) pero sí soy capaz de traducirlo y casi sin necesidad de usar diccionarios salvo en casos concretos.

Ahora estoy en Ferrol. A ocho kilómetros de aquí está El Val y 12 kilómetros más allá está Valdoviño. El Val (=El Valle) es eso, un valle, y no tiene gran protección contra vientos porque no hay montañas altas alrededor. Allí es donde me preocupa tener daños aunque, en estos casos, no se sabe qué puede ocurrir. Mañana por la mañana, si el tiempo lo permite, iré a echar un vistazo.

La tormenta se ha adelantado un par de horas y ya está afectando la parte sur de Galicia con vientos de 140 Km/hora. Aquí todavía no hay viento pero por la experiencia de la otra ciclogénesis explosiva que tuvimos en Enero 2009 sabemos que, de repente, aparece el viento huracanado.

Procuraré estar en contacto a través de este foro si no tenemos fallo en el suministro de electricidad.

Gracias por tu interés y preocupación, comadre :-)

Bicos

Good evening/night.

Well, the "monster" is here. It delayed its presence but right now the wind is truly heavy. Luckily, "Xynthia" lose power when touched the coast.

Wind was heavy on the South. It hits 198,4 Km/h at a small village.

A lot of damages and unluckily a woman died. She was sepulted by a wall :-(((

Beatrix Jahn 27 Feb 2010

Oy! Im glad the wind lost some of the power and that you are ok so far. That poor woman..........and the poor town!!! Nature sure is going crazy!

I like what you did with the car :-))) Im enjoying the car! Loved my Polo when I had it, but this one is a toy I always wanted to play with :-))

Be well, Armando!

It's sad to hear the unfortunate woman was buried by the fallen masonry, but Good to hear you are doing OK Armando.

I guess the worst of it has passed you now.
