The least known of the 4 Balearic Islands experienced a big fright this Saturday 1 April 2017 in the afternoon around 13 hours in Menorca.

Indeed a tornado crossed the island of the Balearic Islands on all its southern part.

No victim but lot of materials damages

No victims fortunately, but big damage: uprooted trees, lying signs etc.

A road was cut off by the fall of many trees.

The intense rains accompanying this phenomenon reached a maximum in Mahon with more than 10 liters per square meter !

For those who know the Menorca island, this meteorological training has passed through the beach of Cala Galdana.
