  Express reports. It is pointed out that the occurrence is not unusual because the Adriatic Sea ?crams into? its Northern part when the South wind is very string. Combined with the tide which raises the sea level, this ?Venetian scenario? occurs. The water has entered housing and business objects on the waterfront. Fishermen expect the sea level to be raised, it the storm does not blow over by the end of day. The situation is similar in Umag and Rovinj.

  The road near Antenela was closed for all traffic.

  The sea also covered waterfronts in Trogir, Vodice and Sibenik, where citizens were locked in their homes and were forced to call the fire-fighters for help. Ferry transport has been closed in most areas.
