The Charles storm that is affecting Lanzarote, La Graciosa and the rest of the Canary Islands is leaving a storm of wind and waves that is causing different incidents in the island geography. Both islands are on orange alert for wind with gusts that can reach or exceed 90 kilometers per hour and, in addition, Aemet also maintains yellow alerts for waves and rain during Wednesday. The alert for heavy rainfall will remain until Thursday.
One of the most notable has been the grounding of a sailboat on the coast of Playa Blanca, near Marina Rubicón. As reported by the Emergency Consortium, the local police officers of Yaiza themselves have confirmed that there was no one inside the boat.
Firefighters have also had to intervene in other incidents in other parts of the island, such as fallen cables in Tías and San Bartolomé, as well as an incident with loose sheets in the Sports Pavilion of Tías and a drum about to fall in La Santa, Tinajo.
Likewise, the emergency services have also had to act on the detachment of Christmas decorations from Avenida Guanarteme in Teguise. In addition, the strong wind has caused a palm tree to fall in Los Cocoteros and the breakage of metal grates in the coastal town's football field, which the wind has knocked down.
