Also noticed that there's a weather warning for thunderstorms on the Meteoalarm site. I had a cracking storm second time in La Palma:

Update 11pm: The Government has changed its mind about opening schools tomorrow after Aemet extended the red alert for Tenerife for continued adverse weather conditions until 9am tomorrow (Thursday) morning, and the Tenerife Cabildo advised that it couldn’t guarantee the state of the roads in this island. Despite the late hour, the announcement has been made that schools will after all remain closed on Thursday, 12 December. In all other islands, schools will reopen tomorrow as the Government originally advised, but they will stay closed in Tenerife (official announcement HERE).

Wild storm hits Canary Islands
 
Thousands of islanders have been left without power, dozens of roads have been cut off due to flooding, winds have reached up to 120km/hour and a total of 3,922 lightninging bolts have hit the archipelago in a single morning.
 
The Canaries’ westerly islands — Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro — have continued to bear the brunt of a storm which has so far left 3,500 homes without electricity. The combination of strong winds and heavy rainfall has had a particularly severe effect on the south of Tenerife, where most of the island’s tourism industry is based. Sixteen flights from Reina Sofía Airport have been cancelled and most maritime connexions between the islands have been paused until the storm abates.
 
The downpour has been so great in some parts of Tenerife that up to 60 litres per square metre have fallen in a single hour. Here are some of the most shocking photos tweeted by Canary residents over the past few hours:

Update 12 December: As of 9am, the red alert was indeed reduced to orange, and it will be reduced still further to yellow at midday. As things stand, that yellow alert will itself be lifted at midnight, leaving Friday with no alert at all. Fingers crossed.
