Oct 30: Spain flooding latest news: At least 62 dead and 1,000 soldiers deployed after devastating flash floods in Valencia

LA ALCUDIA, Spain, Oct 30 (Reuters) – At least 62 people have been killed in the deadliest flooding to hit Spain for three decades after torrential rain battered the eastern region of Valencia on Tuesday, leaving roads and towns under water, local authorities said on Wednesday.
Rescuers using dinghies worked in the dark to scour the floodwaters, rescuing several people, television pictures from the town of Utiel showed, and emergency services were still working to reach the worst-hit areas.

Sky News: ‘Cars were washed down the riverbed’

A British builder in Valencia has said the flooding last night was “was pretty disastrous for everyone”. Appearing on Sky News earlier and turning his camera to capture “the devastation” around him, Mr Gill said he was doing emergency call-outs for British people in need of help after the storms. He showed how a bridge next to him was closed after its “road was about to crack”.

“We literally had cars being washed down the riverbed, being swept under,” he said.

Mr Gill added there were a number of people “trapped in their vehicles” last night.


Needless to say, most transports to and from this region are now postponed. Call us for further information!
