tornadoes have been reported out to sea

An English woman thought to be in her thirties died earlier today when she was swept away by a wall of flood water after stepping out of the car she was travelling in. The incident occurred at around midday on the Son Serralta residential estate in Puipunyent on Mallorca. The victim's boyfriend and their baby were rescued uninjured from inside the vehicle.

With torrential rains affecting all the Balearic Islands since last night, the regional government has informed that tornadoes have been reported out to sea. Consequently, orange level alerts have been issued for Mallorca, Ibiza, and Formentera while Menorca is on yellow alert.
