STORM MARTA... PORTUGAL & SPAIN.

We have been following France/Spain/Portugal/Morocco weather via French TV here at home (Edinburgh). It is currently very grim, Morocco, roads are heaving up due to pressure of surface water that cannot drain away, so it wells up and destroys the road, actually like an earthquake.

The obvious, look for the higher ground, and please, stay safe.

Will Storm Marta be Ha(i)ry? :ROFLMAO:

BTW, just got back to the Van after a stroll along the promenade, and 5 minutes later, the heavens opened ...

We are east of Almeria and just had the arse end of Storm Leonardo go through. This was on the back of torrential rain and 65mph winds the week before in Motril. The latest forecasts suggest that this next spell of bad weather will hit today but better weather from Monday.

It's easily been the worst weather we have encountered since we started doing Spanish winter trips.

Sun and breeze in Moncofa, Graham, but Marta will arrive with wind and rain late afternoon. Wind gusts 60kph-70kph but we are sandwiched between 2 leviathan, hoping that the wind literally goes over our heads ... :ROFLMAO:
Had planned on moving back towards Tortosa or Vilafranca del Penedes, but they look likely to get the storm worse than Moncofa, so we'll sit tight

Viewing french telly, a town near to Lisbon, you would be lucky for the water level to be a metre below first floor home balconies. Another town 2000+ evacuated due to a high risk of landslide. Brutal!!

Take care out there. 🤞

I have been thinking about all the vanners especially when I used to drive to the southern coast of Spain and saw them all parked along the sea front.
It must be terrible and I hope everyone is OK. I am safe at home which is bad enough with all the local flooding.

it’s beyond comprehension terry the local council have reported that the. flood waters in pomarao on the portugal spanish border have receded 5 meters town is still flooded but it’s gone down 16 feet although 20 miles away from the coast there are 4 dams above and below that have to release water to ease pressure at 80% capacity add to that the river is tidal and normally raises and lowers a meter on each bore a recipe for disaster , as i posted on the other forum a cafe restaurant we all use normally about 15ft above river level was completely submerged
