Spain braces for more storms & heavy rain as Malaga starts to flood

Spaniards braced for further heavy rain and storms on Wednesday (November 13), just two weeks after rain and flash floods prompted rivers to overflow in Valencia and other parts of Spain, killing more than 200 people and destroying homes and property.

Spanish weather forecaster AEMET issued red alerts on Wednesday morning for eastern Tarragona and southern Malaga provinces, saying it expected them to receive as much as 180 millimetres (7.1 inches) of heavy to torrential rain within 12 hours that could cause rivers to overflow and generate flash floods.

Emergency services in Malaga have moved 3,000 people from homes at high risk of flooding near the Guadalhorce River west of the city, and in other areas asked citizens to seek higher ground.

Also, 15 people were evacuated in Benalmadena when a wall collapsed, emergency services said.

All train services in Malaga province were halted, including the high speed train between Madrid and Malaga while Malaga’s train station was evacuated due to flooding, national rail infrastructure operator Adif said.

In Malaga’s Campanilla district people were preparing for the storm while workers were building barriers to try to contain the flood.

Classes have been suspended in schools in Malaga, Valencia and some municipalities of Catalonia. Two metro lines have been closed or partially closed in Malaga, along with three highways deemed at risk of flash floods.

  9. Only massive reforestation can help to stop rain.
    Spain has over built concrete jungle no greenery around to cool down and create microclimate .
    As a result there will be more severe weather and devastation will strike 😢
    Urgently we need Forest and one child policy to cut down over populating planet😢😢😢😢😢
