Gordon lashes Spain and Portugal
The remains of Gordon brought hurricane force wind gusts and heavy rain to Spain and Portugal yesterday. In the Spanish province of Galicia, four people were injured and one hundred thousand homes lost power. In Portugal, local media described chaotic scenes due to flooding from heavy rain and winds that damaged roofs and uprooted trees. Traffic was severely affected. Meteored, a Spanish weather forum, reported some impressive winds gusts:
Castro Vicaludo-Oia (Pontevedra): 168 km/h (104 mph)
Fisterra (A. Coruña): 165 km/h (103 mph) (INM)
Cabo Vilán (A. Corurña): 152 km/h (94 mph) (INM)
Ferrol (A. Coruña): 119 km/h (74 mph) (INM)
Alvedro (A. Coruña): 111km/h (69 mph)
Ancares (Lugo): 101 km/h (63 mph)
Oiz (Bizkaia): 109 km/h (68 mph)
INM is the Spanish government's weather service. I thank Luiz Fernando Nachtigall, Chief Meteorologist for Brazil's MetSul Meteorologia Weather Center, for providing this information. His site's weather blog has an impressive Youtube video of the damage in Spain.
Groeten,
Wouter
