That's tropics type storms!We are now close to 300mm in the present wet spell. We did have fairly serious flooding in the olive grove nearest the river on Friday. Maybe 6 feet of water in the deepest part. A section of the boundary down - steel posts and chain link fence on top of a wall. A few 8 y.o. olive trees uprooted, but not too many. A lot of much younger trees still in pots are not where they were, but hopefully some will be recovered after the water recedes. About 30 date palms, 30 cork oaks and 150 rose cuttings from a rose my wife bred and we were hoping to begin marketing this year.
At least we did not have the tornadoes that hit the south coast on 28 Feb and 4 March. Lots of damage in both Portugal and Spain. Videos on YouTube including this one
Pisitively possing down at present and rain generally forecast for the next fortnight.
Only last year the fires were nearly upon you, now you sound drowned out.
Is this normal for your part of Portugal?
