The areas most affected were those of Admiral Baldasano, Los Barreros where a tree fell on a vehicle, Miranda, Vista Alegre and the Parque Juan Carlos I.
The trees are being removed by the brigade of Parks and Gardens.

Another notable impact has been the downfall of one of the Christmas trees that adorn the city, specifically next to the Palace Hall.
