Data from the Catalan Meteorological Service confirmed peak gusts of 167.4 km/h in Portbou. In response, Civil Protection issued ES-Alert mobile notifications to residents in Alt Empordà, Berguedà, and Ripollès, advising against outdoor activities.
The storm has significantly impacted local infrastructure. Fallen trees have blocked the N-260 highway near Ribes de Freser and several regional roads. Additionally, heavy snow has forced the closure of coll de la Creueta and made snow chains mandatory on several mountain passes.
The 112 emergency line handled 340 calls by mid-morning, while Firefighters attended over 150 incidents, mostly in the Girona area. Despite the structural damage, including a collapsed scaffold in Roses, no injuries have been reported so far.
