(España) - En este preciso instante, una borrasca colosal circula por el Atlántico Norte, con rachas de viento superiores a los 150 kilómetros por hora y olas de hasta 15 metros. Nos hemos metido en sus fauces.

En este preciso instante,
la extraordinaria borrasca atlántica que acoge los restos del huracán Epsilon está en su momento culmen. La presión mínima ha descendido hasta los 940 hPa en un punto comprendido entre Irlanda, Islandia y Groenlandia, casi equidistante, levantando un vendaval que debe estar provocando
rachas de viento superiores a los 150 kilómetros por hora,
inabarcables por la escala de nuestra sección de 'mapas'. Las ráfagas se podrían considerar equivalentes a un huracán de categoría dos, solo que ya no media ningún sistema tropical.
Comentario: En los últimos 9 meses se ha producido un número extraordinario de muertes como resultado de los ataques caninos a personas de todo el mundo, muchos de ellos por mascotas familiares de confianza. A medida que el comportamiento humano se vuelve cada vez más loco, tal vez esto se está repitiendo en el reino animal. ¿Y no menos por las criaturas más asociadas con el hombre?
