High Winds Cause Rock Falls in Tenerife

A series of small rock falls onto the roads of La Palma and Tenerife have, so far, been the only incidences caused by the strong winds that began to blow in the islands yesterday and, for which they have been in a state of "pre-alert" since Monday when winds with gusts of up to 75 kmph were forecast. The falls have not caused the closing of any roads, nor has it affected traffic on the affected roads, mostly found in the areas of Buenavista del Norte and Santiago del Teide in Tenerife.

We also got a goodly quantity of rain overnight here too, but this is nothing untoward around this date. Apparently, or so I was told when I was chatting to natives in the town yesterday, this always happens when it is fiesta time in Buenavista. And, I'll bet you thought bad weather was reserved only for British Bank Holidays!
