Jose poped over today to see how we are getting on he was working night shift when the storm hit and poor Violetta spent a sleepless night in their house while Alexandre slept soundly through it all. Jose says the wind speed at Carino just a little way North of here was recorded as a little over 220 KPH...in old money that is 138 MPH. We were celebrating the return of electricity and two minutes later it cut off again ah well - we don't have real electricity; there is a big generator down the road and occasionally it needs men in boiler suits to give it some attention.
More wind expected tonight and lots of weakened trees just waiting to fall.
bueno viaje
