The Rain from Vince Falls Mainly on the Plain in Spain
How unfortunate rhyme-wise that Vince was not Wayne.
So I read that Vince was the first tropical system to
hit Iberia. And that makes we consider Situational
Awareness. If a Tropical System were to have hit
Iberia in the past -- would it have been recognized
by the locals and called tropical. (By 'in the past'
I'm thinking of the time since, oh, the big Lisbon
Earthquake).
It's certainly interesting when something unprecedented
happens -- but I wonder always just how unprecedented
it is. How good are historical weather records in
Spain and Portugal? Are they really very good, or
do they leave you wanting something Moorish? ;)
