Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Split proves you wrong! This morning, a fierce storm with heavy rain, hail, and strong winds literally ravaged the city. In the ferry port, a real drama unfolded – a large excursion ferry sank after colliding with two other ships. Yes, you read that right, a ferry went to the bottom! But that’s not all. The legendary Hajduk stadium, Poljud, suffered heavy damage. The roof was severely damaged, the field flooded, and the interior is in chaos – power is out, offices destroyed. Pavković, on the scene, says the situation looks grim and that concrete damage assessments will only be possible once the weather calms down. The police are struggling too, as their emergency number is down due to technical issues, forcing citizens to use alternative numbers for urgent help. While Split counts its losses, Zagreb was also hit by a severe storm yesterday, and Serbia isn’t spared either – the Ministry of Interior sent urgent warnings to citizens about risks of storms, hail, and strong winds. The Serbian Hydrometeorological Institute activated an emergency SMS alert system, warning about thunderstorms and possible hurricane-force winds, especially in Vojvodina, western and central Serbia, including Belgrade. Meteorologists advise caution and monitoring forecasts as storms can develop rapidly. This storm in Split isn’t just a local problem – it’s a sign that weather surprises us more and more, and maybe we’re not ready for such disasters. What do you think? Is it time to finally take climate change seriously, or will we keep pretending everything’s fine until our cities drown? Drop your thoughts below, let’s see who’s ready to face reality!
