snowbirds 26

We were out last night in Benidorm and everyone's mobile phones alarms went off and displayed this message see attached
We stayed out to midnight and no sign of these winds, but around 4.00am it started, the gusts are unbelievable. I'm glad I took the windbreak and utility tent down, the motorhome keeps shaking every time there is a gust. I would hate to be on the back row where you ain't sheltered, Lucky for us we have motorhomes at the rear and side of us giving us a bit of shelter.

We're in Peniscola, wind started around 11pm lat night.
I've put the stabilisers down this morning. When I opened the hab' door I held onto the door and felt like Mary Poppins!

If you are on the fenced off aire with apartments to the side of you, and short walk to beach, I imagine the aire will be quiet exposed to high winds?

Be extra careful Dave, Joanne would have enormous problems, if anything happened to you.

We just got back from Mercadona, Tortosa, me at about 105kg plus just over 6kg of fruit & veg on my back. A gust of wind caught me and blew me 3 steps sideways, as though I was a dry leaf ...😁

There are 3 sections of the AP7 (1 must be Hospital d'Infant) where there is a temporary prohibition on all overtaking, even car by car, something we haven't experienced or seen before. Although the Van is in a row of 6, with bigger Vans both sides, the wind is still rocking us to and fro ...

Yes it is exposed, but I've dropped the rear stabilisers this morning, that's helping a little.
Looking at Windy.Com the eye is passing over us shortly.
Happy to stay in the van and watch the rugby 🏉 😉😁😁😁
