The pre-alert for storms affecting Lanzarote this Monday has already had its first effects on the island. Hail has covered some areas of Yaiza with a white blanket, while the rain has caused flooding in Arrecife. In Famara, the road in the area of the mill has had to be closed, with access to the town via the beach road. 

According to the Security and Emergency Consortium, the rain has caused problems in the archaeological complex of Zonzamas and in the streets Rafael González Negrín, Álvarez Quintero, Doctor Fleming, Gómez Ulla, Nicaragua and Hernández Pacheco in the capital, forcing firefighters to intervene. 

Precisely, a neighbor has sent La Voz a video recorded in the back of the Santa María de los Volcanes School, where he says that the lids of some sewers have jumped, filling the street with sewage. "The smell is unbearable," says this man. A large amount of water has also accumulated at the exit of Arrecife on Manolo Millares street.
