Rain and strong wind knock down trees and scare bathers in Mosqueiro Residents and tourists who were on the island of Mosqueiro, in Belém, were surprised by a storm this Tuesday (28). The rain was accompanied by strong gusts of wind, which caused trees to fall, damage to the electrical network and losses in different parts of the district. At Praia do Farol, bathers who were enjoying their July holidays had to leave the strip of sand and seek shelter in tents due to the intensity of the rain and wind. In addition to interrupting leisure activities, the storm caused disruption in several areas of the island. On the edge of Praia do Farol, a tree fell and practically blocked the road. In other places, trees had their roots exposed and there was material damage.
