The Torroella de Montgrí City Council began assessing the damages caused by Storm Harry, which impacted the Baix Empordà coast on February 3, 2026.

Storm Harry, a powerful coastal storm that hit the Catalan coast in early February 2026, left scenes of destruction in the municipality of Torroella de Montgrí. The damage was concentrated mainly in the coastal area and on some road infrastructures.
Local authorities, led by the Torroella de Montgrí City Council, activated emergency protocols immediately after the storm passed to assess the extent of the damage and begin cleanup and repair work. Special emphasis was placed on the safety of areas most exposed to the strong waves.
This meteorological event added to other recent incidents in the Baix Empordà region, highlighting the area's vulnerability to intense coastal storms. The administration's immediate priority was to restore normalcy and quantify economic losses to apply for aid from higher administrations.
