Weather Warning for High Winds in Canaries 26/02/10

According to AEMET the Canary Islands are in for another storm of high winds and we have been placed on yellow weather alert from tomorrow. Some parts of the mountains are on orange alert and winds are expected to reach up to 100 kilometres an hour. The last storm caused havoc on the islands, destroying much of the coastal areas and mudslides.

The same storm then built up and carried onto the island of Madeira where it caused over 30 deaths and a horrendous amount of destruction, see the video below:



As the cleanup begins there, another storm is heading over from the Atlantic, which so far has Canary Islands and Madeira in it's path.
