Santa Marta during recent weeks has been hit by strong gusts of wind that wreak havoc in different areas of the urban area.
Fallen trees, damage to electrical infrastructure, as well as roofless businesses and homes, are part of the panorama left by the breezes that are stronger at night.
Relief agencies declared an orange alert in the face of emergencies unleashed by the dry season.
One of the cases that alerted was due to the fall of a leafy tree, which after being uprooted by the wind fell on a house. Fortunately, the building was vacant and there were no injuries.

Likewise, the temperature and the winds have triggered the number of vegetation cover fires. Firefighters deal with four to five conflagrations a day, demanding the maximum of their capacity.
Jorge Lizazo, head of the Advisory Office attached to the office of Mayor Virna Johnson, explained that “the hydrometeorological and meteorological conditions that give rise to the declaration of alerts by Ideam, are due to the phenomenon of intra-seasonal variability of the climate known as the dry season or less rain, which is expected to last until March 14.
According to the information provided by the Ideam, the threats are moderate, however, the territory could experience gusts of wind between 46 and 64 km/h, moving in a northeasterly direction; meanwhile the wave height will vary between 2.0 and 4.0 meters.

Among other warnings they suggest not to park vehicles under trees, power poles, billboards or other types of elements that can fall due to the effect of the winds.
Also deposit garbage in its place, to reduce the risk of fires in the vegetation cover.
