Mini-tsunamis cause flooding at restaurants in San Antonio, Ibiza
A ‘mini-tsunami’ has forced tourists in Ibiza to flee the beach after several waterfront restaurants became flooded.
The Platja de s’Arenal beach in San Antonio was hit by the unusual phenomenon yesterday morning, as waves pushed inland.
Footage shows water suddenly appearing underneath shocked holidaygoers’ feet as it carried away coolers and containers.
Sunbathers can also be seen scrambling to move their belongings as the waves washed over the sand.
Meanwhile, others waded through the seawater as it reached all the way to the street and flowed onto the terraces of some restaurants.
In comparison to the huge wall of water that is normally associated with a tsunami, the flooding was slow-moving, meaning tourists were able to walk through the water.

Later in the day, a tribute concert in San Antonio celebrating the music of a Spanish rock band was cancelled for ‘security reasons’ after weather chiefs warned of further mini-tsunamis.
Known locally as rissagues – caused by sudden changes in atmospheric pressure – the weather phenomenon also hit ports in Majorca, including Alcudia, Andratx and Sóller, and Port Adriano in Calvià.
In Puerto Alcudia, seawater spilled onto part of the beachfront promenade, forcing holidaymakers to wade through the water.
Tourists enjoying drinks at a terrace bar were also caught by surprise as the sea crept towards them.
Meanwhile, Menorca’s Ciutadella was placed on standby amid warnings that sea levels could rise and fall by up to 1.2 metres (four feet).

The first mini-tsunami hit shortly before 8am, with the change in sea level recorded at 86cm (2.8ft).
There were no immediate reports of injuries, however.
In July 2018, mini-tsunamis reaching around five feet flooded coastal roads, beach bars and restaurant terraces in parts of Majorca, while boats were torn from their moorings and dragged out to sea.
Tourists were filmed running from the water as powerful currents swept through the resorts.

At least 306 people infected with salmonella in Belgium in outbreak linked to eggs
At least 306 people have been infected with salmonella in Belgium after they ate eggs, according to figures released by the Belgian Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC).
The outbreak has been linked to eggs produced by Laerco, a company based in Geel in northern Belgium. Salmonella was first detected at the facility at the end of April. The following month, a large-scale recall saw all eggs from the site withdrawn from the market.
Contamination spreads
At first, the contamination appeared to be confined to one of the company’s four henhouses, but the number of new cases did not fall as expected.
New laboratory tests subsequently detected the bacteria in a second henhouse, before FASFC decided to halt operations at the farm and launch another recall of potentially contaminated eggs.
The products concerned were distributed throughout several major supermarket chains, including Colruyt, Delhaize, Aldi and Carrefour.
The precautionary recall has also been extended to Luxembourg, while FASFC has notified several other European countries that may have received the eggs, including the Netherlands, France, Italy and Portugal.
What is salmonella?
Salmonella are a group of bacteria that can cause a gastrointestinal illness called salmonellosis. Symptoms of infection often include diarrhoea, a fever, and abdominal cramps, while more serious cases can lead to a high fever and aches. It can also be fatal in some cases.
The bacteria, which live in the guts of many farm animals, can be passed to food products such as eggs during rearing, slaughtering, or processing.
