Only in Ciutadella: Rissaga is a rare meteorological phenomenon that strikes the island and it mainly affects the port. It is also known as meteotsunami and it is characterised by very strong tides that cause significant raise and drops in sea level. The phenomenon is so intense that it can cause the port to run out of water and when it returns it may have such strength that it can cause serious floods. Something like this happened in 2006 when many boats in the marina were sunk.
