*I'd not anticipated the storm that was then developing and how my lodgings were to amplify its spooky effects. The 90km winds caused my window storm-shutters to bang against their constraints. Waves raced madly below. Lightning flashes lit the walls. By 2am, winds of surprising force created tornado-like howls. Dogs bayed and babies wept (it was even worse in Ano Meria). It was like a horror movie: I half-expected Frankenstein to suddenly lurch into my cell with an axe, as the roof flew away.
