Storm Kristin hits Seville with strong winds and rain
The passage of the storm Kristin through Seville this Thursday generates adverse weather conditions, with very strong wind gusts and persistent precipitation causing various problems in the city. The streets become the scene of multiple incidents requiring urgent intervention. 🌧️💨
Emergencies and municipal coordination
Emergency teams receive and attend to dozens of calls due to fallen trees and branches, which block traffic at several points. To manage the situation effectively, the Seville City Council decides to activate the Municipal Emergency Plan at its initial level, which allows better coordination of all involved operatives.
Main consequences in the city:- Obstruction of roads due to fallen vegetation, hindering mobility.
- Activation of the municipal protocol to deploy resources more quickly.
- Priority attention to material damage on public roads.
The Sevillian storm demonstrates that, sometimes, the only flight plan that is followed is the one that diverts the plane.
Disruptions in transportation and recommendations
The force of the storm forces modifications to urban public transportation services. In addition, at least one flight destined for Seville airport has to be diverted. The authorities maintain alerts for heavy rain and wind, and urge the population to take precautions.
Safety measures and warnings:- Avoid transiting areas with many trees or where the wind may dislodge objects.
- Secure furniture on terraces, balconies, and patios to prevent accidents.
- Follow official information through the enabled channels while the phenomenon lasts.
Response from operatives and outlook
Firefighters, local police, and Civil Protection work tirelessly to remove obstacles and normalize the situation in the city. Although the rain may ease in some intervals, the wind gusts continue to be the main risk. The rapid intervention coordinated by the emergency plan is key to minimizing the impact of the storm and protecting the citizenry. 🚒🚧
