Re: Acid Rain or Mt. Aetna Fallout?

Where abouts on Crete? As you probably know we live in the Hania region, and
we have had nothing like that at all. Certainly no rain. Also no damage on
walnut trees or leaves.  Whatever it was must have been very local. We do
get a lot of 'igrasia' but have had no damage of which you speak.
Strange!!!!!
