Torrential rains and thunderstorms caused flooding and damage in several parts of Mallorca on Tuesday afternoon.

The storm caused power outages and damage to infrastructure, and several roads were closed due to flooding.
No injuries or deaths have been reported so far, but the extent of the damage is still being assessed.
Mallorca's emergency services were on high alert and responded quickly to the situation, evacuating people from flooded areas and clearing debris from the roads.
The storm is expected to continue for the next few hours, and residents have been advised to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel.
The German community in Mallorca is closely monitoring the situation and is providing assistance to those affected by the storm.
The German consulate in Palma de Mallorca has set up a hotline for German citizens who need assistance.
Here are some tips for staying safe during a storm:
* Stay indoors and away from windows. * If you must go outside, wear sturdy shoes and clothing. * Be aware of your surroundings and watch for downed power lines. * Do not drive through flooded areas. * If you see a flooded area, turn around and find another route. * If you are caught in a flooded area, call for help immediately.
