The bad weather in the Spanish province of Valencia has caused a massacre. The provisional death toll from the torrential rains is over 150, but many are still missing and unfortunately unaccounted for.
In 8 hours - experts explained - a year's worth of rain fell on the Iberian city and its surroundings: an unprecedented flood, with streets like rivers, the fury of the water that swept away people and cars and interrupted connections.
National emergency declared and three days of mourning, while now the alert moves to other provinces.
"The water rose to 3 meters. We were trapped like rats," say survivors, while the controversy over the delays in the alert by the president of the region grows bitter.
The devastating torrential rains – meteorologists report – were caused by Dana, a depression of cold air that is not too rare but is now increasingly intense due to climate change.
