Just some horror going on in Spain! Storm, flood and tornado. Barcelona, Mallorca

Friday's rain was concentrated in a few counties and with a lot of irregularity, as it usually happens in storm situations, but it left locally very abundant records. 100 liters per square meter were scrubbed in Llagostera, and a similar amount is estimated in Mataró. Violent weather phenomena were also reported, such as a hose around El Prat Airport around 11pm. The Barcelona hose was not the only one of the day. Earlier, an exceptional image was recorded of four simultaneous hoses in the south of Mallorca. The actual records measured in the stations of the Meteoclimatic network in the north of the city were between 34 and 37 mm, but the Meteorological Service of Catalonia has estimated a maximum of around 100 mm. Other fan networks corroborate this, because they recorded rainfall of between 94, 102 and 116 mm at three observatories in the south-centre of the city. At the local level, there were also occasional road closures, flooding in garages and temporary effects on the rail service. This Saturday morning, Civil Protection has deactivated the Inuncat emergency plan alert due to the intense rain episode. It is expected to rain until noon on the coast and pre-coastal of Tarragona, but without significant intensities. Felanitx bore the brunt of the intense storms that hit Mallorca. The damage caused has been considerable and emergency teams are still working on the ground. “The cold air pocket at low levels has connected with the high levels and has coincided with wind convergence, a relative low and daytime heating”, which has led to the heavy downpour, according to the spokeswoman for the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) in the Balearics, María José Guerrero. After the morning’s deceptively good weather, the weather took an abrupt turn at 13:45, giving way to a heavy downpour of water that flooded the town of Felanitx. In less than an hour 135 liters per square meter of rain fell. The fire fighters were activated immediately and attended to a total of 28 incidents in the town until 17:30, all of them due to flooding. During the episode, the 112 emergency telephone number received 240 calls, 204 of which in the Maresme region; 86 were in Mataró (Barcelona), 31 in Calella and 30 in Pineda de Mar.
