Rainy day

Yesterday,
almost the entire island got wet. For almost every municipality of the island, yesterday was the confirmation that the canarian winter is just over us. The expected rain cleaned the greenhouses from the dust left by the "calima", the dusty haze that sometimes comes over from the african continent.
In Teror they had 25L/m², 45L/m² in Arucas, etc... but the major problems took place on the dangerous road to "La Aldea". As always, landslides and rock detachments happend due to the rainfall, causing mainly traffic problems and one accident, where a rock of about 100Kg fell on the back part of a car luckily causing no victims.
This is for me the main reason, why the project of the motorway to La Aldea should be done as soon as possible. Every year there are the same problems when the rain falls, and one time it's gonna happen something really bad.
