Tornado hits Lluc Monastery in Mallorca
Three injured and 150 evacuated after a tornado in Mallorca
Reports are coming in that last night a tornado hit the Mallorcan town of Escorca causing damage to the monastery at Lluc and injuring three people.
The tornado which occurred around midnight felled several trees in Escorca and damaged the roof of Lluc Monestary causing 150 people to be evacuated. The emergency services and Civil Guard were called and there are reports that three people sustained injuries. Although all the injuries were described as "minor" one person was taken to hospital in Inca.
Lluc Monastery is one of the major religious attractions in Mallorca. It has been revered as the island's most sacred site since the 13th Century when a statue of the Virgin miraculously travelled from the church to a cave. You can stay in simple rooms in the sanctuary if you're seeking peace and quiet.
