We get the strong hot winds about this time every year. Usually last longer than 40 mins so a bonus this year.

It wasn't nearly as bad as 19th May, 5-6 years ago, when we had similar hot winds that lasted most of the day & well into the evening. Power lines were down all over, we were without power for 24hrs. It also caused several forest fires, including the one above Karagozler 2, where there is now the slogan formed from white stones

We lived out there for 6 years and the "hair-dryer" winds were an annual occurrence. Sometimes they lasted for several hours.

It's normal to have these high winds this time of year.

Apologies - if the title was mis-leading - it was semi tongue in cheek (a sort of what next?? comment) but it really was eerie - so very hot - then gusts just coming and disappearing lifting things up of the floor and then it went black with lightning in the distance.

Of course we have experienced hot winds before but this one felt different to me and I suspect to a few others as well.

Liz - remember it well - we were on a C & T 12 Island Tour and just docked as it hit - it was also Cup Final day. The winds that day were much stronger but this one was eerie and different in a sort of short bursts sort of way :-)

I hoped it was tongue in cheek when I wrote my comment / translation , hence the wink, with all the tsunami and earthquake  mither, I thought a tornado unlikely .
