Huesca closes Miguel Servet Park after severe storm and falling trees

Huesca closed Miguel Servet Park on Sunday, June 28, as a preventive measure after a severe storm swept through the city and caused multiple incidents.

The storm brought wind gusts above 70 km/h, according to reporting cited by Cadena SER, and came during a yellow wind warning issued by Spain's weather agency, AEMET. City officials closed the park while the weather system passed and crews responded to damage elsewhere in Huesca.

Citywide damage

The storm left fallen trees, broken branches and damaged street furniture in several parts of the city. Reported incidents were listed on streets including Santa Clara, Cabestany, Ricardo del Arco, Santo Ángel de la Guarda, Obispo Javier Osés, Zaragoza, Fraga and Camino Cruz del Palmo.

Officials also reported downed phone and electricity cables, roof tile and façade debris, and material falling from a construction site. In separate incidents, vehicles were reportedly hit by a fallen tree and a branch.

Firefighters respond

Cadena SER reported that firefighters from the Diputación de Huesca responded across seven of the province's eight fire stations. The same storm also triggered small lightning-related fires in Grañén, Campo and Griebal, which were brought under control.

What remains unclear

The available reporting does not say whether anyone was injured, and it does not give a reopening time for Miguel Servet Park. A later municipal inspection would determine when the park can safely reopen.
