August 18 from 2018 - 14: 11

Holidaymakers and residents of Dénia were surprised by a strong waterspout that fell around 10:15 am and lasted for about 30 minutes, leaving the beaches and causing flooding in the most common points of the urban area.

For much of the morning, the local police were forced to cut the Camí del Llavador and the accesses to Plaza Benidorm and ordered to circulate with much caution in the Camí de Gandía, although it did not cut itself off from traffic.

In just one hour in some areas of Dénia the rain was torrential because in just 10 minutes were collected more than 17 liters per square meter, which is equivalent to more than 104 liters per square meter in one hour.

From the City of Dianense it is requested that if a neighbor has suffered any damage or has had any problem because of this rain and needs a favorable weather report, you can request it from the city council itself, in view of possible claims before any insurer.

The areas that have returned to suffer from floods have been the usual, area Plaza Paris, Grupo San Andres, where once again several vehicles have seen how the water level exceeded its doors, the Cervantes Esplanade area with the basins completely flooded, Paseo of Saladar and Miguel Hernández. In addition to traffic problems, there have been some minor accidents due to rain.

In the meteorological stations of Dénia 10l / m² have been collected in 17,4 minutes in Santa Lucía. In Jesús Pobre, 17,2 l / m² and in that of Madrigueres, 11,2 l / m².

AEMET has reactivated the alert for rains and storms in the beginning until 16 hours.

    Senor Grimalt - wann kommt endlich die versprochene Kanalisation. Wenn ich mich nicht täusche, haben Sie es schon 2016 versprochen und das nicht nur einmal. It is wäre sicher kein Problem die Subventionen dafür zu bekommen. Man muss is nur wollen.
