Answer

Why do trees and branches cause so many storm incidents in Mallorca?

Many storm-related incidents in Mallorca are linked to trees at the roadside or near promenades, where gusts can bring down branches or whole trees. Factors such as age, root space and pruning can make some trees more vulnerable in bad weather. That is why prevention and regular inspection matter as much as clean-up after the storm.
