A pic from yesterday´s hurricane, we made it on the portal page of the local diary!
My boat survived in the end, with minor damage to woodwork (but 5 lines broke!), my house the door was pried open by the wind and inside it was quite a disaster but just needed a good clenaing, so: In the end we got away well.
Others did not have so much luck: We lost a total of 25 boats+, 5 ppl in hospital because they got hit by flying debris.
In Palma it was nothing compared to our 150 km/h gusts, but still interesting to see how it looks even when it evolves from force 5 to force 7 (Beaufort) with waves of just 2 mtrs (we had 6! and here was no way you could walk straight, you were ducking gusts and zig-zaging if you were lucky...):
This is what it looke here like:
And, we had UFO´s at avout the the same time (UFOs = OVNIs in Spanish =
Objetos
Volandos
No
Identificados = Objets Flying Not Identified):
but then, we have them all the time:
Even myself I have made some pics a week ago of a bright orange OVNI and after that of a whole group of them (all alike), and I had gone to the place to take the shots on a dream of OVNIs the night before that then came true, I will post when I find the time to sort out my massive download of over 500 pix...
