Noon update: August wraps up with milder, drier weather,Crossfire Tomato Festival , Buñol  la tomatina

Thousands of people pelted each other with tons of ripe tomatoes this week creating a red, mushy mess in the annual "Tomatina" street battle in eastern Spain.
At the fiesta in Bunol, 160 tons of tomatoes were offloaded from six trucks into the crowd packing the town's streets for the hour-long battle that attracts many foreigners among the around 20,000 participants.
People cheered and jumped in the party atmosphere, with some people wearing fancy dress but most in T-shirts. As the trucks pulled into the narrow streets, the revelers chanted, "Tomato! Tomato!"
To avoid injuries, revelers are instructed to squelch the tomatoes before throwing them. Even so, many donned swimming goggles to protect their eyes. People on balconies overlooking the festivities also were pelted, and tomatoes left red blotches on buildings' white walls.
The paid-entry event was inspired by a 1945 food fight between local children in the tomato-producing region.
