Storm?
I've been seeing some pictures of a storm affecting Isla Canela and power outages in Ayamonte. Can anyone provide any more info, perhaps some pics?

Re: Storm?
We are one of a block of flats at the rear of
' La Plaza' the tornado hit us with vengeance. It was scary!! Old trees uprooted and gone. Tiles flying off the roof like confetti. A ventilation shaft fallen through the roof. Large sections of the roof need replacing and the ventilation shaft rebuilding. A timber challet/shed in a neighbouring field completely gone! Just sticks remain.
All in no more than 10 mins. The tornado left in the direction of Lepe.

Re: Storm?
On Sunday circa 4.00pm at Altura I think a tornado must have hit. There was trees laying on top crushed cars. Roof tiles scattered around the streets. The N125 was totally blocked roughly by Ze la Tasca 2 resto due to a mature fir tree lying in the road. Palm tress also uprooted. People were just standing outside looking dazed. On tuesday at Islantilla the wooden pier / steps down to beach are all gone - washed away. (In front the cinema / resto complex that is). I've seen various big advertising hoardings lying down in fields - Loads of mangled bent metal. The storm forces must have been concentrated in certain areas I guess. Also saw on Spanish news, hundreds of smashed up yachts in a marina at Cadiz - kinda piled on top each other.
