A waterspout causes a flood in Cadaqués that carries away around thirty vehicles

Up to 32 vehicles from Cadaqués (Girona) have been seen affected by the rains this Friday morning in the Girona regions of Alt and Baix Empordà, when they were dragged by the river that crosses the municipality.

This was indicated by the mayor of the town, Pia Serinyana, in statements on Catalunya Ràdio, where he explained that the point of maximum intensity has been between 2 and 3 hours and that at this moment the river continues to go down, although not how it came down at that time.

Regarding cars, he assured that the council had already warned that parking in the area was prohibited: “We had the alert that had come to us from Cecat (Operational Coordination Center of Catalonia), but “People have parked their cars and the water has washed them away.”

He has also indicated that, at the moment, there is no notice from the Generalitat Firefighters, who have checked the accident vehicles, or from the Mossos d’Esquadra, that any person may have been affected.

The first mayor of Girona has reported that in Cadaqués “it hasn’t rained that much either”, but that the intense rains have been focused on the Pení, the mountain next to the municipality, which has dumped all the water into the stream that runs through it.
