Rob, I heard of the floods in Mallorca, are you okay?
Hi, and thank you for the concern!
Yes, they happened a few klicks away from my zone, but the thunder storms were amazing to watch.
Part of the problem is because of neglect: there are no real rivers on the island, but we do have torrentes, which are naturally formed waterways that, most of the time, look like dry river beds. Cut by nature through the centuries, these cope very well with the sometimes freak winter cloudbursts, but the hassle arrived with the hand of man in the form of dumped waste, garbage, prams, supermarket trolleys, and the recent few drier years allowing bushes and even trees to grow where no tree or bush should be allowed to root. Consequently, when heavy rain does come, it can't flow cleanly and you'd be forgiven for thinking the island had been taken over by beavers. I think eight people have died, two Brits in a taxi and it's driver gone missing.
Mr T. take note, times they are achanging!
Again, thank you for enquiringly about me.
Rob
