Storm Alice reveals vulnerabilities: airport flooded, roads washed away

Answer

Why was the MA-15 near Porto Cristo badly affected by flooding?

The MA-15 near Porto Cristo was hit hard because heavy rain can quickly overwhelm roads in low-lying or exposed areas. Access routes toward places like Cala Romántica are especially vulnerable when drainage cannot keep up and nearby ground channels water into the roadway. In storms, even a major road can become unsafe or washed away in sections.
