Flash floods in Spain leave at least 95 dead
flash floods hit eastern Spain, according to local authorities, in one of the worst natural disasters to hit the country in recent years.
The catastrophic floods, fueled by an unrelenting deluge that began Monday, washed away cars, inundated homes and knocked out power across eastern Spain. Rescuers waded through neck-high waters to reach some residents.
«It was the worst moment of my life,» said Nuria Molio, 51, who was driving home from Valencia to a nearby village with her father, 84, when her car filled with water.
The civil protection had to extract her father from the car with a rope so he wouldn't be swept away by the thick muddy current. Like many others, members of the family were now sleeping in a shelter in Valencia, as bridges and roads to their hometowns were destroyed by the floods.
In the town of Chiva in the eastern Valencia region, practically a year's worth of rain fell over eight hours, Spain's meteorological agency said Wednesday, illustrating the ferocity of the storm. Other areas across the south and east saw more than a month's worth of rain in less than 24 hours.
