Answer 3

Yo ya huiría pero no tengo la menor idea de que ¿si la velocidad de un coche es suficiente para adelantar una tormenta?

I would have already run away but I have no idea whether the speed of a car is enough to outdistance a storm?

A few corrections I would have already run away! no idea whether (the word 'that' is not needed, Porcu). I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Aug 16, 2016

Spectacular picture. Thanks. :D - jrschenk, Aug 16, 2016

Thanks for the link. It looks like a scene from "Twister". - rac1, Aug 16, 2016

Answer 5

Cuando yo deseaba un poderoso tornado, yo estaba pensando en el caballo del Zorro.

When I wished for a powerful tornado, I was thinking about Zorro's horse.

I loved watching the Zorro films! Antonio Banderas was great, so were Catherine Zeta Jones and Antony Hopkins :) - FELIZ77, Aug 16, 2016

I agree with you, Feliz. :) I didn't know Zorro's horse or his name, JR. :) - rac1, Aug 16, 2016

You can read the story in Spanish: https://www.amazon.com/Zorro-SPA-Una-Novela-Spanish/dp/0060779020 :D - jrschenk, Aug 16, 2016

Answer 6

'Don't worry,' my next door neighbour said to me, yesterday, 'it's only a storm in a tea cup! '

'No te preocupes' mi vecino de al lado me dijo ayer, ' solo es una tormenta en un vaso de agua!'

Editor's note: A storm in a tea cup refers to something being blown out of proportion, similar to the meaning of making mountains out of mole Hills!

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Hola, amigo. :D - jrschenk, Aug 16, 2016

Hola amigo, Jr :) - FELIZ77, Aug 16, 2016

Answer 7

Por mucho que usted puede, usted no será capaz de correr más rápido que él.

Try as you might, you won't be able to outrun it.

That's what V8 engines were made for, amiga. :D - jrschenk, Aug 16, 2016

As long as you are running in the right direction. I wouldn't want to be that close. - rac1, Aug 16, 2016

Answer 8

Storm chasers have more fun...

Los perseguidores de tormenta tienen más diversión...

Is there a better choice of words for 'storm chaser' in Spanish? - katydew, Aug 17, 2016
