The chances of finding the second British hiker who was swept away by the waterspout during the storm on Tuesday in the Torrent de Pareis, Escorca, alive are diminishing as the hours go by, although rescue workers “are not giving up hope” according to the Guardia Civil said at the command post of the rescue operation in La Calobra, lamenting that from experience in similar cases, finding the missing person alive in these circumstances is “complicated”.
