Pollensa.—Pollensa was in the eye of the storm yesterday as gale force winds of up to 120kmh swept through the area causing some damage.
Boats anchored in the Bay slipped their moorings while the fire brigade received scores of calls from householders to remove debris which had fallen in the high winds.
The Palma Met Office had placed northern Majorca on yellow alert on Monday night for high winds and Minorca was put on red alert.
Across the island freezing temperature led to a surge in demand for electricity as householders put on their central heating to fight the cold snap.
