Wow, the video with the catamaran looks scary: https://www.noonsite.com/Countries/Spain/spain-mallorca-meteotsunami-rissaga-flooding-chaos/
Everyone ok? Apparently several ports in Mallorca were affected too. We were in the well sheltered Cala de Addaia and felt nothing of it, but still had some excitement when one pesky gust found its way into there and 8 boats dragged simultaneously, two getting their chains entangled and lifting a snubber and chain into another boat's prop.
We dragged too, due to a long lost item of clothing stuck on the tip of our anchor, several other boats also brought up various rubbish, and the next day one boat even caught an abandoned mooring chain and needed diving to be freed.
The pilot book warns about the "meteotsunami" in Ciutadela, although calls it Resaca or Seiche and explains it slightly differently.
