Alicante Avenue is currently being diverted in front of the Rodat for fear that a traffic light will fall. The sports center also suffers the effects of the wind, especially the Diego Mena field, with fences torn off in the complex that have set off the alarms.
Another great scare occurred yesterday, at 16:10, when the wind began to hit hard, when a vehicle with a trailer belonging to the works of the castle of Dénia rushed down the slope of the same for the strong gusts, but it was not He had to regret personal injury, although many materials.
And this morning, around 4:00 am a wall has fallen on Avenida de Alcoy.
The Social Center has been enabled as a relocation point for people who have to be evacuated and care for citizens.
