A powerful storm hits the Spanish island of Mallorca, causing the death of a British hiker and leaving another missing. The hikers were caught in a flash flood in the Torrent de Pareis gorge, a popular but dangerous hiking route in the Serra da Tramuntana mountains.
The search for the missing hiker was suspended due to bad weather, with the second-highest alert level issued by the Spanish weather service. In addition to the tragic incident, the storm led to widespread flooding, road closures, flight delays, and even a possible tornado.
The island, known for its sunny weather and popular among German and British tourists, was unexpectedly hit by the severe weather. Despite the challenging conditions, rescuers managed to evacuate ten stranded hikers from the gorge.
The search for the missing hiker will resume once the weather improves. Emergency services have been overwhelmed with over 200 calls for assistance, highlighting the scale of the natural disaster.
