haha that's nothing, you need to see how wild the winds are here in madeira... experienced the same on both north and south - just the south side is dry and i hate that

can't leave any door without a stopper or 3+lb weight stopping it from moving if you open two ends of the house at once, or slam, slam, slammitty slam...

before i'd been here a week i managed to have that happen to me but fortunately of course the balcony door was wide open so i asked my neighbours for help and they came through with a ladder to get up on the balcony and i was saved

winds that blow things about are routine... they even tie up bundles of grape vine sticks after they cut them back so they don't blow about
