It is interesting how localized these events are. This area is less than twenty kilometers from us but we experienced only a little wind and rain, nothing out of the ordinary. Very unfortunate for those who end up being in the direct path of the storm, however.

Those storms are getting worse indeed.

The storms are very patchy, you can see them in the distance but up till yesterday we've personally had little rain here in the past couple of weeks.

I've planted some small fruit trees that I've been hand watering.
