THE Mayor of Dolores and a Police officer made a statement about the serious matter of the town, regarding the severe weather that has hit the Vega Baja hamlet and surrounding areas of Alicante.

Horrific incidents occurred during the Gota Fria – Medicane – that saw the Army, Policia, and the Bomberas involved, after it hit on Thursday.

Alarmingly further warnings have been made, with a ‘Boomerang’ effect set to return during Friday night and to continue over the weekend.

It has been reported that Alicante province will have the ‘boomerang’ effect – with up to 200 litres of rain to fall per Square metre in 12 hours.

Comunicado del Alcalde de Dolores – Riada en la Vega Baja (13/09/2019)

Se nos ponen los pelos de punta al escuchar y al ver la seriedad del alcalde de Dolores que pide a su población que desaloje y se suba a las plantas altas de la casa. Las inundaciones en la Vega Baja van a más y todas las poblaciones cercanas al río tienen que tomar estas medidas. Triste, muy triste situación. Fueza Vega Baja.
