I somehow missed this major catastrophic weather events in parts of Spain almost a week a go...probably because here in the States, it has became a blood bath of mass murders- already 274 this year- (whole other topic, whole other blog).  In  Maluenda, Paracuellos, and Miedes Spain, 100% apple and pear crop loss- 100 percent due to sudden hail wind and flooding ...due to heavy rainfall last month there are concerns about the barley crops in France and Germany but the results are not in yet as conditions this month and next will determine that...
