Hope all you folks stay safe ,well and we're thinking on you going through this hell of a time

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?

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

Went to Newtownards to look in charity shops for clothes cause we cannot afford new ones,
Anyway heavens opened and not half cold over here.

Spain and Portugal reel from the impact of Storm Leonardo

A blocked weather pattern has been bringing persistent heavy rain to the Iberian Peninsula. As Darren Bett explains, that's not the only type of extreme weather affecting Europe at the moment.

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 ...
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

Yeah we're getting on better now thanks pat
You never know you might end back in a van things change but stay safe buddy

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.

Hya, Pat.

We've given up Motorhoming, too and miss it.
We're up in the Algarve in a small town..
Sâo Brâs de Alportel.
High enough not to worry about flooding.
Marta has thrown the lot at us, this morning, she's calmed down,but still looks threatening.
