The most critical case involves a 46-year-old man injured by a collapsing roof. Other serious injuries were reported at Bellvitge Hospital and Trueta Hospital in Girona, mostly due to falling trees and debris. Civil Protection confirmed that a total of 86 people required medical assistance during the peak of the storm.
“"The restrictions applied were justified and contributed to avoiding more serious incidents."
Minister Núria Parlon stated that the preventive measures, including school closures and remote work recommendations, were necessary based on Meteocat technical data. Authorities expect to ease restrictions as wind speeds decrease later today.
