Squall weather with heavy rain and stormy wind hit Pula and wider area surrounding it on Sunday night, and on Monday morning the same happened to Dubrovnik.
Due to a large quantity of water on roads, parts of the roads between Pula and Kanfanar are closed, and several other routes around this town are flooded too.
In Pula, stormy wind was breaking branches and tossing garbage containers around the flooded streets, and the drivers had to find a way to pass and were driving on the side-walk. Numerous cellars were also flooded in places close to Pula, Stinjan and Fazana, where 60 litres of rain per square metre fell during the day.
Such a heavy rain, as the one on Monday, not even the oldest citizens of Dubrovnik remember. Within an hour, above the city on the Jadran highway, streams of water reached depth of about half a metre, with cars trapped in them.
The storm caused landfalls of roads, among others on the road Graca-Knin.
