Images of the chaos caused by the storm at Palma airport

The strong warnings regarding the weather were theoretically due to arrive on Wednesday but, as the storm advanced, it caught key facilities such as Palma airport, Son Sant Joan, completely unprepared. The flooding has caused operations to be paralysed for hours, flights to be diverted and, above all, a flooded car park that has meant an incessant parade of cars and tourists in the rain.
