Santa Cruz de Tenerife (EFE) .- The Borrasca Nuria has caused a less serious injury in the port of La Cruz, in Tenerife, for the impact on a leg of a iron that flew because of the strong wind that the island experiences, which has caused gusts of up to 150 kilometers per hour in the Teide National Park.
As for the less serious injured, they have referred to the hospital, it is the only incident related to people after a night of tranquility and few incidents and a morning where they have already begun to register “hurricane gusts”, as reported on Thursday the president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Rosa Dávila in a press conference from the Insular Operational Coordination Center (Cecopin).
From there, Dávila has assured that they are deployed on the ground to 300 troops under the Cabildo de Tenerife, especially professional firefighters and volunteers who are taking care of prevention work.
In the Medianías areas, the president said, the gusts have exceeded 80 km/h, with sustained winds on the low island that exceed 70kmh.
Rachas have also been recorded in San Miguel de Abona, Granadilla and Arico of up to 90 km/h.
In addition, Dávila said that the forecasts that the State Metereology Agency (Aemet) had on the metropolitan areas “are being fulfilled”, after exceeding 100 km/h at some points.
“The situation is going to intensify in the middle of today, with winds of more than 100 km/h in the central hours of the day and extreme risk due to unusual phenomena, both rains and winds,” said Dávila.
Until one in the afternoon, most of the incidents have been related to falls of branches, posts and fences and the president of the Ténerife council has pointed out that the forecast is that the front of the storm “passes very fast” and that in the afternoon-night he remitted towards 7 in the afternoon.
Rosa Dávila has pointed out that many of these incidents have occurred on the Low Island and in the south of the island and has asked citizens to follow the recommendations and information from official sources and that they have a lot of caution, especially in coastal areas, where minimum waves of 2 meters of the height are expected.
The Minister of Natural Environment and Emergencies of the Cabildo, Blanca Pérez, recalled that there are cuts on roads such as the one that goes to Teno and that the workers of the Cabildo are taking care above all to control that there are no people on tracks, trails and recreational or camping areas.
“A number of huge troops working in prevention and places of risk, and attending incidents, which are beginning to be given,” he said
Pérez has also highlighted that he is concerned about the incidence of the wind in the metropolitan area “because it is where greater population is concentrated”, although he has agreed that the phenomenon “will happen very fast and it is likely that from seven in the afternoon I love its effects.”
The technicians of the Cabildo de Tenerife have also commented that the forecast is that the orange warning ceases to be in force from 10 at night.
Regarding the resumption of face -to -face schooling activity, a measure that the Canary Islands government must adopt, Dávila has indicated that it will depend on the specific effects produced by stress in infrastructure and that the decision will be made later, when there is more information about the possible damage that may be caused.
