The cyclone passes through Tenerife without leaving large showers

Tenerife was not the island most affected by Hermine, as the weather warnings predicted on Saturday –orange level compared to the red level of El Hierro, the east of La Palma and the south of Gran Canaria, where it actually rained more–, but it did register heavy rainfall. The highest accumulated values ​​were located in the midlands of the municipality of Güímar, with 109 liters per square meter, although they exceeded one hundred in many other points of the Tenerife geography.

Highway operators had to intervene in six of these accidents on the TF-5, TF-47, TF-1, TF-2, TF-454 and TF-46.

Most of the landslides were concentrated in the Anaga massif (metropolitan area) and the South.

The values ​​of the capital of Tenerife did not exceed, in fact, 70 liters per square meter, although the emergency teams had a lot of work. There were a total of 130 incidents, the majority due to landslides and dragging of material on public roads (36), but also faults in public lighting (20), faults in electrical wiring (12), problems in the sewage system (12) and falls of trees and branches (12). There were also assists due to falling rubble, breakdowns at traffic lights and puddles. The City Council services collaborated in the drainage of water from seven homes and a social premises.

The most notable episode occurred last night, after 9:00 p.m., when the Local Police closed a section of Islas Canarias Avenue to traffic and had to interrupt the tram when the roof of an abandoned house collapsed. Operators were working last night to restore traffic.

To the suspension of all the acts in the Archipelago due to the maximum alert for the tropical storm, the theoretical entrance exams in the Civil Guard in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Some 450 candidates were left without testing as a result of heavy rainfall.
