On Monday morning, a tornado wreaked havoc near the popular coastal town of Rovinj in Croatia. Several holidaymakers had captured the storm spectacle on video. The severe storm also brought numerous floods and hailstorms.
Not only in Austria, but also in countries such as Croatia, Slovenia and Italy, the state of emergency has been in force for days due to the sometimes violent storm. Especially in the Croatian city of Istria, reports of hail damage, flooding and a tornado are piling up. A total of 25,000 lightning bolts were recorded in the last two hours in the Croatian city of Istria alone.
Floods in Italy
An orange weather warning was issued in advance. Rivers are also at risk of overflowing in Slovenia. Italian cities such as Trieste and Milan are also increasingly experiencing flooding, causing chaos on the streets.
Local flash floods in Croatia
The storm is expected to spread to inland Croatia by evening. Further damage cannot be ruled out. The Croatian Hydrometeorological Institute continues to warn of traffic delays due to local flash floods, storms and hail. An improvement is currently not foreseeable. The fierce storm should also reach Dalmatia on Tuesday.
