In the video you can see how the tornado pulls the water from the Adriatic Sea into the sky. Gigantic cloud formations can be seen above. Other pictures show how tourists on the harbor quay of the popular holiday town go their way unperturbed, while the tornado passes them just a few hundred meters.
The severe storms first hit Istria in Croatia, then the northern Adriatic. An orange weather warning was in effect across the country due to thunderstorms expected in parts of Croatia. In the afternoon, the storm should also spread inland and reach Slavonia on Monday evening.

There was also heavy rain and storms in neighboring Slovenia. In the coastal city of Koper, gusts of wind tore off the roofs of a stadium and a school, the STA news agency reported. In the border town of Tolmin, houses and cellars were flooded.
The storm continued to move to northern and central Slovenia. At the beginning of the month, torrential rains triggered a flooding disaster of historic proportions. The Slovenian government now estimates the damage at five billion euros. Austria is expecting a “flood of the century” due to the heavy rainfall. (cgsc with dpa)
