Tropical Rain.
by Ulla

Gota Fria? no me acuerdo the eso pero me acuerdo el dia que fui de seco a lluvia en el mismo momento... it was like a wall of rain... so amazing. I hope the weather improves for your crops and electricity. Well done!

    Pues si senora. Es un fenomeno muy conocido en mi area de Espana. Todos tenemos un poco de miedo durante esta temporada. It usually occurs from mid Sepember to the end of October. It doesn't happen in inland Spain. Thanks a lot for the review. Ulla:)))

Fingers crossed for you. You have insurance, right? We get these things over here every year with tropical storms and hurricanes. We had 15 inches of rain once in hurricane Matthew, it caused alot of flooding, lots of roads closed, flood damage in houses, but we made it through. The worst I had here got some flooding into the crawl space under the house and flooded out my septic system. estory

    Thank you so much. Yes, I am insured, but I think my house can withstand a lot. It's almost 200 years old build of natural rock, and the walls are two feet thick. The frightening bit is what's happens all around us. I wouldn't have liked to experiensed what you did. We are okay now. It's still raining heavily, but manageable. Ulla:)))

Oh cool, I am so sorry that you have this worry at the present moment. I have never known weather like that, at least not so critical. I have not lived anywhere where rockslides occur with heavy rain. I am hoping and praying you stay safe, hugs and love, Giddy

    Hi Giddy, I have to say, it's not been so cool, but the worst seems to be over. It's still raining heavily, but not as it was a couple of days ago. On Saturday we should back to sun and 25 degrees. I can't wait. A big hug back to you. Ulla:)))

    Thank God the rain has eased off, Ulla. As if Covid wasn?t it though! Xxx

    How are you coping with the covid threat? I'm fully vaccinated. 90% of the population now are, so we live in relatively peace at the moment. We are totally covid free around here, at the moment. xxx

    Peter and I are fully vaccinated, but people are hard to convince and we are lagging behind a bit in this country. Hugs, Giddy

    I'm so glad you are. Yes I do know what you're saying, which is baffling us all. Big hugs back. xx

Well stay safe. I live in Wisconsin where the air just hurts my face in the winter. However, it's really safe weather wise compared to other place. Rock and mud slides sound scary. Stay safe.

I'm so sorry for your problems. Heavy rains are scary. Here in the high desert with mountains all around we have to be wary of flash floods too. I hope you get through it with no major damage. Hugs Nancy:)

Thanks for letting us know, Ulla. I am sure many fingers are crossed hoping for the best.

Even during this trial you keep your upbeat spirit, and manage to make all things still sound good.

Keep well.

    Thanks a lot, Gloria. I'm still okay but the rain is never ending. A bit steadier, today, Thursday, but coming down relentlessly. Electricity has been on and off. Tomorrow more of the same and then it should break on Saturday, and we will be back in the eighties F or 25 plus Celsius and sunshine. Thank goodness for that. Ulla:)))

Oh Ulla, I'm sorry to hear this. It must be quite frightening, especially with the power going on and off. Crossing fingers, toes and eyes that you'll have no more damage. Big hugs. Judy

    Hi Judy, sorry to be late in aswering, but the electricity has been on and off most of the time. It's still raining, sigh. I'm okay, so far. More rain tomorrow, and then it should break on Saturday. That's the time to find out what the real damage is, if any. Ulla:)))

I will absolutely keep my fingers crossed for you, my friend.
So lovely of you to think of us and let us know how life is progressing. We sometimes think we live in seclusion and its wonderful to know there are others who care about us.

Always
Justafan of yours

Remind me not to visit Spain in late September. Don't go out without your lifejacket or water wings. Hope things improve. I thought the rain in Spain stayed mainly in the plain.

    Hehe, late September and early October is the season for the 'Gota Fria' but only in our area of the Med, mind you. It's something we all dread. They can be very dangerous. The light is now back on in a steady fashion, it seems, so I'm catching up.
    The rain on the plain is a totally different story. Smile. Ulla:)))
