Delta tropical storm has passed. It looked like it was stronger than expected: In my city, Santa Cruz de Tenerife (the capital of the island), wind reached 140Km/h (almost 87 miles per hour), which resulted in several damages to cars, traffic lights, streetlights, trees, and pylons. This situation is generalized all over the islands, which at this moment is almost completely into darkness. Some parts, like my area have power lines restored.

In the higher areas of the island (Teide national park) anemometers measured strong winds much higher than 250Km/h (more than 155.25 miles/hour - stronger than Katrina); natural monument El Dedo de Dios (Finger of God) in the island of Grand Canaria has been destroyed. I think I’ve never seen something like that before.

I’ve taken some photos of my living area which will give a better idea of the current situation:

• Anaga avenue, with several trees pulled out, and curious people taking photos.
  

Remaining pics shows other views of my area and the avenue.
