Chaos in Split After Storm Dumps a Month's Worth of Rain in Two Hours

The city of Split, Croatia, was plunged into chaos after a severe storm unleashed an unprecedented amount of rainfall. In just two hours, the city received more rain than it typically experiences throughout the entire month of June, overwhelming drainage systems and causing widespread disruption.

Even after the rain subsided, municipal services and firefighters remained on high alert, working collaboratively in Split and Solin to manage the aftermath. Their efforts focused on addressing areas where water had intruded into buildings and infrastructure.

The director of the local water company, Ivica Perić, reported that the most severe instances of water intrusion were recorded in a building on Ruđera Boškovića street, another in the Žnjan area, and within the Technology Park located in Dračevac. These locations bore the brunt of the storm's impact, requiring extensive cleanup and repair operations.
