Storm Alert on Croatia's Coast: Ferry Sinks and Chaos Spreads!

The maritime traffic was particularly hard hit. A ferry traveling off the coast was so severely affected by the massive waves and gusts of wind from the storms in Croatia that it sank. Fortunately, the passengers were rescued, but there were reports of several injuries that required hospitalization. The incident caused a huge scare and demonstrated how quickly conditions at sea can change.

Destruction on Land as Well

But it wasn't just on the water that the thunderstorms caused damage. Along the Croatian coast, strong gusts uprooted trees, tore off roofs, and sent objects flying through the air. Roads turned into raging rivers in no time. Even in popular tourist spots, boats in the harbors were damaged, and the infrastructure suffered from the masses of water and the storm.

The Force of Nature

The speed and intensity with which these storms hit Croatia surprised many. The sky clouded over in a short time and unleashed its full force. Unfortunately, such extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and pose a major challenge for residents and tourism. Cleanup efforts are in full swing, while the full extent of the damage is still unclear. It is hoped that the situation will normalize quickly and that the affected areas can recover.
