Un tornado ha atravesado en la tarde de este jueves a Almuñécar, que afortunadamente se ha quedado en el mar y no ha afectado al municipio granadino. Un tornado que venía directo de Málaga, donde sí ha causado graves desperfectos. Ha pasado por la barriada de Churriana, en la capital, y por Torremolinos, dejando en su camino destrozos en chiringuitos, vehículos y vallas de publicidad. Ha sido en un recorrido de 4 kilómetros desde el mar. Las fuertes lluvias y el viento ha afectado a carrteras en Cádiz, el transporte marítimo y ha provocado inundaciones en Huelva.
