Istria Devastated by Severe Flooding: Cars Submerged, Thousands of Lightning Strikes Recorded
ISTRA, CROATIA – A powerful storm has swept across the Istria region of Croatia, leading to widespread flooding and significant disruption, particularly in the towns of Umag and Novigrad. Local residents and authorities are grappling with the aftermath of the severe weather, which saw nearly 2,000 lightning strikes recorded. Footage from the affected areas shows cars partially submerged in muddy torrents, struggling to navigate the flooded streets. One resident, who wished to remain anonymous, described the scene: "The water rose so quickly, we couldn't believe it. Cars were just stuck, unable to move." The State Hydrometeorological Institute has issued an orange alert for Istria and the Rijeka region, warning of dangerous weather conditions and the potential for further stormy weather. Meteorologists have advised the public to exercise extreme caution, as the current atmospheric conditions show no immediate signs of improvement. Civil Protection services have been activated and are monitoring the situation closely, ready to respond to emergencies. The extent of the damage is still being assessed, but the immediate concern remains public safety and managing the ongoing impact of the severe weather.
