Welcome to the party, pal!
A Pefect Rovian Storm!
DANG it...four words, and I *still* screw up one of 'em...
Don't you know, it's the Japanese and their weather machine, LOL. (What the Japanese have against Spain, I'm not quite sure.)
.
LOL!
I think there was one in 95, actually...but these thing are rare...
Thanks for the belly laugh...:-)
In the book "Isaac's Storm", author Erik Larson refers to a hurricane which hit Europe, in the past.
First storm with 35 to 55 MPH winds?? This article should be put into Chat...
It's not a machine exactly. It's some dang butterfly that keeps flapping it's wings and causing storms all over the planet.
It looks just pefect to me!
The funny thing is that the socilalists in Spain are big greeny weenies, and now their first tropical storm that will bring beneficial rains, the greenie weenies wil be spinning themself into pretzels.
Nope, I was wrong. After looking some stuff up, I discovered:
THE HISTORICAL RECORD SHOWS NO TROPICAL CYCLONE EVER MAKING LANDFALL
ON THE IBERIAN PENINSULA. BASED ON SURFACE REPORTS FROM FARO
PORTUGAL...THE CENTER PASSED JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE COAST OF
PORTUGAL...BEFORE BECOMING THE FIRST TROPICAL CYCLONE TO MAKE
LANDFALL IN SPAIN.
I don't know what exactly I was remembering...I'll have to look that one up!
It's early; I guess my beeber was stuned or something...
No problem, FRiend. It is early... I've got all day to make my allotment of screw-ups!!!
Have a great day!
I remember England being hit by a tropical system in the last 25 years. You sure this is the first?
