In Barcelona, Spain, on February 12, a powerful windstorm sweeps across Barcelona and the wider Catalonia region. Meteorological services describe it as an exceptional episode due to the intensity and geographical reach of the gusts, with several monitoring stations recording winds exceeding 100 km/h. In some coastal and pre-coastal areas, preliminary data place the storm among the strongest February wind events in recent years. The violent gusts cause widespread tree falls, facade detachments, roof damage, and the partial collapse of industrial structures, triggering hundreds of emergency calls since early morning. Operational sources say the volume of incidents surpasses that of other recent windstorms and is comparable to some of the most severe episodes recorded in the Barcelona metropolitan area over the past decade. The Sistema d'Emergencies Mediques (SEM) reports at 1:00 p.m. that nine people are transported to hospitals: at Hospital de Bellvitge, a 22-year-old man remains in very serious condition and a 23-year-old in serious condition after being struck by falling trees; at Hospital de Sant Boi, two men aged 23 and 35 are treated for minor injuries caused by falling trees -- both are Civil Protection volunteers who have since been discharged; Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron admits one patient in critical condition after part of a warehouse roof collapses on him and is also treating a 68-year-old man in serious condition with pelvic and femur fractures and chest trauma after a streetlight falls on him; at Hospital Universitari de Girona Doctor Josep Trueta, a 56-year-old man remains in serious condition with a catastrophic leg injury after a wall gives way while he is working; and at Hospital d'Olot i Comarcal de la Garrotxa, two workers aged 54 and 51 are treated for less serious injuries after a tree falls on them during removal work. The storm also causes damage to public and private buildings in Barcelona's Gracia neighborhood.
