Weather Warning

In furtherance to Andi´s post on the weather for the weekend, the Orihuela and Alicante weather centres have just posted a severe weather warning for the Province. This is a Red/Orange warning, of which Red is the strongest warning. Orange level was what was issued for last weeks downpour. Please take all necessary precautions when out and about. In the event of an emergency please contact the Centre for the Coordination of Emergencies by telephoning 112.


Sounds like it could get a bit damp. Buckets are in place and papers at a window that leaked last time.

If you actually go on to accu weather you will see this huge system moving up from Africa.

As advised by Jeff I went out very prepared this evening. We decided to go to Hillside where Jimmy Mac was singing. Had a brilliant evening. Before we left the villa - all windows and shutters closed completely down, and I took out with me - boots, umbrella, hat, thick waterproof coat, but nothing more than a rather heaver shower while out. BUT, just got back home and it is absolutely pouring hard - so perhaps the storm is going to start tonight. At least I was prepared !!

Thanks for the warning Jeff, it seems the severe weather has completly washed away our infrasructure, the flooding has taken away all the roads and pavements in this area, Is there anything the council can do to help, there must be an emergency fund set up for these situations, maybe ask Valencia, Madrid, or even Brussels.

Robert.
I often see your posts have a good sense of humor most of the time. Are you have a laugh with what you have just said above as if I member correct your over by oasis. If not I apoligise and you should go wake Jeff up now and tell h to start digging the road up himself.

Oh yes - I also took a torch in case the power went off. So was well prepared !!

Andi, no apologies necessary, except maybe from the Council.

good for you Carol, I am pleased you enjoyed your evening out.
I pegged out washing I did last night, early this morning whilst it was pouring with rain, I have been rewarded the sun is now shining and hopefully I will be bringing my washing in before much longer nice and dry, oh then I need to get out the iron lol
