The soldiers of the Military Emergency Unit have been working since this morning in Ibiza to alleviate the damage caused by Hurricane Alice, which hit the island with force on Saturday, forcing roads to be closed and flights to be cancelled, in addition to causing blackouts and flooding. The storm also left hundreds of incidents, including evictions, in Murcia, Alicante and the Balearic Islands. This Sunday, the Dana maintains the threat of heavy rain on the coast of the Valencian Community and Catalonia. The State Meteorological Agency maintains an orange warning on the northern coast of Castellón, the south of Tarragona and the islands of Ibiza and Formentera due to heavy rains of up to 50 liters per square meter in one hour and up to 140 in 12 hours. In the rest of the Catalan and Valencian coast and the rest of the Balearic Islands, the warning is yellow. The orange warnings extend until 11:00 in the Balearic Islands and the Valencian Community and until 17:00 in Catalonia.
The early morning has been relatively calm in the affected areas, after a Saturday of numerous problems that began early in the morning in the Region of Murcia, which even requested the deployment of the UME due to the possibility of overflows, which, in the end, did not occur, so the soldiers turned around. They did embark to Ibiza, which on Saturday afternoon was hit by the storm with very intense rains that even forced flights to be cancelled.
The Balearic Government requested the deployment of the UME in Ibiza after sending an ES Alert message at around 6:30 p.m., warning citizens who were on the islands of Formentera and Mallorca to avoid “unnecessary” travel due to the “torrential rains.” The Balearic president, Marga Prohens, announced that she would not attend the Hispanic Heritage Day parade this Sunday in Madrid due to “the instability” caused by Alice. Neither does the Valencian Carlos Mazón.
The rains move north this Sunday, towards Castellón and Tarragona. The Catalan Generalitat warns the population of “very intense” rainfall, with the possibility of hail, strong gusts of wind and storms” in the areas of Montsià and Bajo Ebro.
In the Valencian Community, heavy rainfall has fallen during the early hours of the morning, causing the flow of the Poyo ravine to increase, especially at the point of confluence of the Cavalls ravine with the Horteta ravine, in the municipality of Torrent, and the Gallego ravine in Chiva has also suffered a flood, two of the towns most affected by the dana of October 29 of last year. However, the situation has normalized since 4 in the morning, as reported by the Valencia Fire Consortium to the Generalitat Emergency Center.
