La violent cyclone Ciarán made it difficult for reporters covering the storm from the ground in Cordoba, Spain. Paula Filgueiras and Guadalupe Sánchez (TVE) and Carmen Chao (‘La mirada crítica’) had a tough time reporting live due to this harsh weather, which registered gusts of wind up to 160 kilometers per hour in certain areas.
The first to experience problems throughout this challenging day was Chao, who even lost the sound of her live connection with ‘La mirada crítica’ from Playa de Riazor in A Coruña, finishing it off without much incident: « It’s not a day for fancy hair or umbrellas here in Galicia. »
Filgueiras had even more issues, struggling to hold on to her umbrella while doing a live connection with Canal 24 horas de TVE from A Coruña. « I’m not sure if you can hear me, and if you are able to broadcast this live. We appreciate the effort you’re making to tell us what is happening right now in the northeast of the peninsula, » said Lluis Guilera.
« As you can see, the sea is very rough. We are on red alert and at the entrance of the bay. That is, we are not out in the open sea, where the waves can reach up to 9 meters in height. That’s why the fishing fleet is staying docked, » Filgueiras narrated. « Thank you very much, Paula, for this live report, and as I mentioned, we appreciate the effort our colleague is making to inform us. Find a safer area, » replied Guilera from the studio.

Guadalupe Sánchez also encountered similar problems when doing another live connection with the Territorial News from TVE from a beach in Almería. The public broadcaster’s reporter had serious difficulties keeping her microphone in place during her report due to the gusts of wind: « In fact, it’s hard for me to stay standing. »
