This is not how Blick reader Alessio Stolz (19) imagined his holiday. He has been in Croatia with his family since Thursday.

On the second day, the Aminess Sirena campsite in Novigrad, where the family of five had made themselves comfortable with a motor home and two tents, was hit by a violent thunderstorm. Trees fell Thursday afternoon, crashing into campers, caravans and tents. The Stolz family was lucky, fortunately their possessions remained intact. However, all around them was a sight of destruction.

“There were many injuries and serious damage,” Stolz told Blick. The ambulance was on hand to treat the victims. Although Stolz has been to Croatia many times, he has never experienced such a strong storm. After the storm, Croatian television even showed up with cameras on the campsite to record the damage.

Severe storms in Croatia

In the evening, the first clean-up work on the site was already underway. “Men cut the fallen trees with chainsaws and cleaned up,” Stolz reports. Now he hopes that the weather will improve in the coming days.

Three people were killed in storms in Croatia on Wednesday. In the capital Zagreb, a pedestrian (50) and a driver (48) have died. A gust of wind also knocked over a construction crane and the crane operator miraculously survived with minor injuries. A motorist was also killed by a tree near Nova Gradiška.
