Meteorologists said a year&#8217;s worth of rain had fallen in eight hours in parts of Valencia on Tuesday, causing pile-ups on highways and submerging farmland in a region that produces two-thirds of the citrus fruit grown in Spain, a leading global exporter.<\/p>\n<p>Residents in the worst-hit places described seeing people clambering onto the roofs of their cars as a churning tide of brown water gushed through the streets, uprooting trees and dragging away chunks of masonry from buildings. &#8220;It&#8217;s a river that came through,&#8221; said Denis Hlavaty, who waited for rescue on a ledge in the petrol station where he works in the regional capital. &#8220;The doors were torn away and I spent the night there, surrounded by water that was 2 metres (6.5-feet) deep.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Defence Minister Margarita Robles told Cadena Ser radio station that a military unit specialised in rescue operations would on Thursday start combing through the mud and debris with sniffer dogs in the worst-hit areas. Asked if the number of victims was likely to increase, she said: &#8220;Unfortunately we are not optimistic&#8221;. The teams have brought with them 50 mobile morgues. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez promised to rebuild infrastructure that has been destroyed and said in a televised address: &#8220;For those who at this moment are still looking for their loved ones, the whole of Spain weeps with you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Footage shot by emergency services from a helicopter showed bridges that had collapsed and cars and trucks piled on top of each other on highways between flooded fields outside the city of Valencia. Trains to the cities of Madrid and Barcelona were cancelled due to the flooding, and schools and other essential services were suspended in the worst-hit areas, officials said.<br \/>\nPower company i-DE, owned by Europe&#8217;s biggest utility, Iberdrola, said about 150,000 clients in Valencia had no electricity. Emergency services in the region urged citizens to avoid all road travel and to follow further official advice.<\/p>\n<p>Some parts of Valencia area such as the towns of Turis, Chiva or Bunol recorded more than 400 mm (15-3\/4 inches) of rainfall, leading the state weather agency AEMET to declare a red alert on Tuesday. It was lowered to amber on Wednesday as the rain eased. There was also flooding in other parts of the country, including the southern region of Andalusia, and forecasters warned of more bad weather ahead as the storm moved in a northeasterly direction. &#8220;(The floodwaters) took away lots of dogs, lots of horses, they took away everything,&#8221; said Antonio Carmona, a construction worker and resident of Alora in Andalusia.<\/p>\n<p>Read more&gt;&gt;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/heavy-rains-cause-flash-floods-spains-south-east-2024-10-29\/\">Reuters<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/spanish-floods-kill-95-as-year-of-rain-falls-in-a-day-in-valencia\/\">Spanish floods kill 95 as year of rain falls in a day in Valencia<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135025","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135025","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135025"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135025\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135025"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135025"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135025"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
