Oh dear Gaucho100K not good news. Hope they weren't directly affected by it.
I was surprised by how violent the weather can be here. A few years ago we had a tornado hit here - even although we were caught in the extremity of it I was quite shocked by the power of it. It wrecked the hangers at the local aerodrome and a few houses were badly damaged. The only fatality was a lorry driver whose vehicle was blown off the road........Scary stuff.
