An unexpected morning in Cadaqués
Francesc Mauri, a renowned meteorologist, has shared his impressions after the strong storms that shook the Catalan coast last night. The Empordà, in particular, has experienced severe weather that has left its mark on Cadaqués.
Material damage and emergencies
The force of the rainfall has caused the stream in the fishing town to overflow, dragging around thirty parked vehicles. The amounts of rain collected could have exceeded 100 liters per square meter, a fact that has left the local population in a state of alert.
Interventions of the emergency services
The firefighters acted quickly, receiving the warning at 03:54 hours and dispatching two units to control the situation. Despite their actions, the dragged vehicles did not reach the sea, but instead became trapped under a bridge. The current priority is its removal to restore normalcy.
Weather forecasts and warnings
The meteorological authorities have warned about the continuation of the storms. Meteocat has called for caution, as weather instability may cause more incidents in the region. In addition, other municipalities in the Baix Empordà have also required assistance due to floods.
Reactions on social networks
Social networks have been flooded with visual testimonies of the weather phenomenon. Mauri has shared images that illustrate how the storm has transformed the streets of Cadaqués into torrents of water, leaving the population without sleep.
Reflections on the power of water
What happened in Cadaqués serves as a reminder of the power of water. Regardless of when it makes a stream dry, torrential rains can cause rapid overflow. Mauri warns that weather conditions have not stabilized and that updates should be followed closely.
An autumn full of surprises
Catalonia, which has already experienced the effects of a DANA, is preparing for more intense rain. Forecasts point to an active autumn, and the alert is maintained at all times. The population must remain vigilant and prepared to deal with possible new weather episodes.
