Yes, There Is A Spanish Word For Monsoon

Monday’s rain in Iquique, Chile, knocked out power to several neighborhoods and damaged the roofs of over 4,000 houses. Schools were closed the next day so they could be repaired. The rain, which totaled less than 1/100th of an inch and was accompanied by 10 mph winds, is about half the city’s annual average. The local umbrella store will reopen again in six months. For ten minutes.
