The natural phenomenon "Rissaga", which occurs occasionally in summer in the waters of the Balearic Islands, was captured by two cameras this time. This is a tidal wave that occurs when the sea level drops briefly and the water then goes down again.
The pressure of the air and the wind play a major role in this phenomenon. The Rissaga is particularly feared in Menorca, where it can cause damage in the ports on the boats.
Monday morning, the impact of a Rissaga was recorded in Alcúdia. Incoming seawater swept the harbor promenade several inches high.
Already on the night of Monday, a Rissaga, accompanied by strong gusts of wind, struck the port of Andratx. The historic sailing boat "Balear" has been torn from its dock. The boat-museum of the Council of the island of Majorca drove without guide in the bay until two members of the sailing club catch it with another boat and put it safe. The "Balear" hit for the first time in 1924 and was renovated faithful to the original a few years ago. (as)
