Living in the tropics..


I'm stuck home cause there is a storm outside. A tropical storm in the middle of November in Portugal. You might think now, what's so special about that??
Well, first of all we don't have tropical storms in this part of Europe. We might have during the summer some little storms or depressions due to the hurricane's in the Atlantic Ocean.
But since the winter began this year, there has been storm after storm. Sometimes with winds of more than 150 kms, other times with rays and thunders, and other times the rain pours so heavily that it looks like milk falling from the sky.

Today half of Portugal is flooded, damaged and in alert...ohh and i forgot to mention that we are not used to things flying around, like parts of roofs, or fallen trees, etc.

Right now I feel like I'm in a tropical island or something..just with a little difference, here is much colder, lolol.
