A storm is coming!

To update my blog a little bit and also to update you about the news of the Islands, today the Government of Canaries declared red alert for the island of Tenerife , La Gomera and El Hierro due to the strong winds and rains. To the islands of Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerte Ventura was declared yellow alert.

As I mentioned in some previous posts , the weather here is very inconsistent and situations like this are common in the islands , in 2005 the islands were the scene of Tropical Storm Delta that due to strong winds caused damages on all islands (also on the island of Madeira, Portugal ). 

The information about the storm of this week (minor that I mentioned above) was properly spread, immediately appeared many comments and photos on social networks, like Twitter and Facebook , which helped me a lot to keep in touch with all the forecast news.

So, it’s important to highlight the big role that social networks and new technologies may have on our daily life and how we got information quickly and easily on current issues.
