The legend of Garoé in El Hierro, the tree that provides abundance in the form of water to the locals, has come to pass this Wednesday. However, it was not the storm named after the sacred linden, known as bimbache – the first to carry a name associated with the Canary Islands – that made it happen. Instead, the credit belongs to a Dana that had become “unhinged” and was strategically positioned near the Canary Islands, allowing it to exploit the storm’s weakening, resulting in heavy downpours across the Archipelago, over 800 lightning strikes, a significant drop in temperatures, and even a light dusting of snow on Teide.
