Suddenly the horizon was colored black and the couple began to flee towards the apartment.
Two minutes later they were in the middle of the storm.
– I got a big garbage can in the back, says Emma Abrahamsson, on location in Mallorca.
During Sunday, a severe storm hit eastern Spain with strong storms and intense rain.
Several airports in the Balearic Islands were forced to cancel departures – and the Swedish paradise Mallorca was hit hard.
Swedish Emma Abrahamsson is in Port de Andratx. On a sunny day walk with her husband, she suddenly discovered that the horizon was colored black and in just two minutes the storm was upon them.
– It was a nasty experience and it could have ended badly, but we were lucky. We got flower pots all over us. I got a big trash can in the back. There was flying furniture. We ran along the promenade, Emma tells Nyhetsmorgon.
“Was shocked”
The couple fled along the beach road and luckily a cafe owner was able to open his doors for Emma and her husband.
– Otherwise, I don’t know how this would have gone. We were actually a bit shocked, she says.
Several people were injured in the Spanish storm, but luckily the Abrahamsson couple escaped without major injuries.
– My husband was hit in the back by a flower pot. It was nasty.
On Monday, the storm has subsided, but the authorities have issued new warnings for strong winds.
– We’ll probably try to stay indoors today, says Emma.
