At least 19 people injured one of them seriously, was the result of the summer storm with winds of up to 120km that struck the Uruguayan capital Montevideo, and the eastern coast line to almost the border with Brazil, some 350kms away. The report from the national Healthcare system, SAME, said that most patients are from Montevideo and three from the adjoining seaside resorts. Read full article

    It seems the storm was pretty bad causing considerable damage. Other publications report looting after the storm.

    Well you should know as you weren't there!

    And which are 'other publications', if they exist, nothing in El Pais.

    I live here and never saw any looting.

    You were in Montevideo? Odd because you told us you didn't live in Montevideo, were you lying about that? Lying or not, just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't occur but I did say read it, I didn't say I was there.

    Why not invest in some treatment for your obsession with me and your pathological issues with women. You stalk me around this website purely to insult me. You are making a show of yourself. old man.

    @ DT

    Yes, it was pretty bad and at 34mm/hr (85mm in two and a half hours) rainfall was as much as the worst storm since we came here in May 2011 which occurred in November 2011 and was 100mm in three hours. That one was at night and the lightening was so powerful and long lasting I have a fully exposed shot of the road we live in simply by leaving the shutter open for one second.

    No-one hurt in our immediate area, thank you for asking, but in the poorer housing some kilometers away a few people were struck by flying debris from the rubbish heaps (inc. scrap metal) they keep on their yards.

    My house was fine other than it was damaged by a half meter x 50mm thick slab which was being used as a rain barrier on my next door neighbours barbeque chimney. He couldn't believe it flew so far, obviously doesn't understand angled flat-plate dynamics!

    You don't read very well if you think I stated I was in MVD. Haven't your 'experts' been able to find me yet?

    As for the storm it broached an area 350 kms ALL ALONG the holiday coast. Where was that in the mythical 'publication' that 'you read'?

    IF there had been any looting it would most definitely been reported for at least two days in El Pais. No reports!

    Still harping on about the mythical issues I am supposed to have about women I see. Lies of course and that is what you cannot stop, isn't it. That is what defines you as a pathological liar of course.

    I suspect I am not the only one on MP who knows the truth about you.

    No one wants to find you. You were the one who tried to find me, remember? I was merely pointing out that you would be easy to find should anyone wish to do so. You are such a blabbermouth about yourself.

    “As for the storm it broached an area 350 kms ALL ALONG the holiday coast. Where was that in the mythical 'publication' that 'you read'?”

    You are rambling again, old man. That makes no sense at all. How could you know what was in the publication if you can't find it? Why are you arguing about the content if you think it doesn't exist? Barking mad and illogical as usual.

    Bat-shit Mad ChrisR, your posts over the years have displayed to everyone your misogynist view of women. You can't help yourself but expose your prejudices and they are manifold.

    “I suspect I am not the only one on MP who knows the truth about you.”

    You wouldn't know the truth if it punched you on the nose. You know very little about me and that drives you insane. It doesn't stop you from lying about me and you have been exposed as a bare-faced liar on more than one occasion.

    Fallacious argument again!

    Keep lying. it just makes everybody see you for the pathological liar that you are:

    “The sociopathic/narcissistic pathological liar has no moral qualms about lying which makes it easy to tell a bold-faced lie. Some pathological liars believe their lies; living in a fantasy world that they’ve constructed. In other cases of pathological lying, the liar experienced trauma early in life and began lying as a coping mechanism, and, at some point, lying became more comfortable and “truthful” to them than the truth.”

    If you keep on with it the howling in your head will get worse and may never be treatable.

    The answer rests with you. Stop the lying.

    And there you are lying about me again. Stop projecting. You are a proven liar. Caught out in front of everyone and you cannot get over it.
