Torrential rains triggered severe flooding in eastern Spain on Thursday, sweeping away cars and forcing school evacuations. Authorities closed roads in Murcia, Valencia, and Catalonia, with officials urging residents to stay indoors.
Heavy rainfall caused flash floods in eastern Spain, just four months after deadly floods in Valencia killed over 220 people. The state weather agency Aemet issued orange alerts across Murcia, Valencia, and Catalonia as water levels rose.
Images from local media showed a car swept away by the Lorca river in Murcia, while firefighters rescued a woman trapped inside. Another man was saved from a flooded vegetable patch using a tractor.
Murcia regional president Fernando Lopez Miras said there were no casualties on Thursday, but one person had died earlier in the week after being swept into a ravine. He criticised weather forecasts, saying authorities had not expected such prolonged rainfall.
Aemet reported up to 120mm of rain in 12 hours, surpassing spring season averages. A new weather front from the west is expected to bring more rain until the weekend.
