Torrential rain fell in parts of Murcia and Alicante yesterday.
There had been fear of droughts in these areas, as very little rain has fell there since August.

Tell me about it, it was that wet in our fly free it extinguished the wifes sented candle you should have heard the thunder off her

hi Rita. Still no rain to speak of , since last august in my area of Alicante, but we saw it in the distance . Hope you storms have put all the fires out. Pleased to hear nobody was hurt. Very well done the bombers . Great guys

Thanks Pondgirl. Its been a bizzare few days around here. For days we were under threat from huge fires burning all around. Helicopters, planes , fire trucks, smoke, evacuations,
then suddenly out of the blue a massive hail storm that left the land looking like mid winter covered in white slush while the sun was shining. Now people have to clean up their orchards and fields instead of taking the fruit to the market it goes in a big rotting piles while wondering where they are going to get the money for requirements for the rest of the year. Mind blowing.

Now that the bad weather has passed over everything is back to normal. All the near ripe fruit that was hit by the hail has been removed and dumped. Where the hail was heavy and big there has been 100% wipe out less where the hail was lighter.
Sorry. not fully normal as the dumped fruit fermented the local boars had some party by the looks of the flattened grass and broken stone walls, so still that to repair. Otherwise onward and upwards.
