Je commencerais par dire qu’il est vraiment difficile de traduire en paroles ce que j’ai vu de mes yeux. Il s’est agi d’une tempête de vents cycloniques extrêmement violents, qui ont causé des dommages très importants tant aux bâtiments qu’aux arbres fruitiers et à la forêt en général, mais surtout cette tempête a provoqué une invasion de sel qui a recouvert toute la partie inférieure de toutes les îles des Açores.
I should like to say first that it is extremely hard to put into words the things that I witnessed over those few days, because this was a storm made up of incredibly strong cyclonic winds, which caused extremely widespread damage, both to buildings and to fruit trees and forestry in general. Above all, however, because this storm led to an invasion of salt, which covered the entire lower part of all the islands in the Azores.
