WATCH: Trees snap in half as winds of up to 90km/hr and rain wreak havoc in Spain’s Andalucia

Winds Sevilla

 

THIS is the moment a tree snapped in half during ferocious winds in Sevilla today. 

The province was placed on orange alert for strong winds and has seen gusts of up to 90km/hr. 

The orange warning has been lifted but the province remains on yellow alert for rainfall for the rest of Monday and Tuesday. 

Twitter users reported billboards being blown down while bins were left turned over. 

Other residents tweeted images of more trees reported to have been blown over. 

Shutters across the city were also destroyed.

It comes as much of Spain has been forecast with rain for the majority of the week.
