In Spain, heavy downpours on Wednesday 1 September resulted in severe flood in the province of Alcanar, the cities of Castellón and Tarragona were particularly affected. There, streams of water rushed through the streets like a seething river, blowing away everything in their path.
About this in particular informs local edition El Periodico.
Until 14 pm, precipitation fell in Alcanar about 232 liters per square meter. The waves driven by the wind rose more than a meter in height.
Water currents flooded the plains and streets, washed away dozens of cars and caused traffic to stop on some roads.
In addition to Alcanar, other municipalities were also affected. There is no information yet about the victims and the injured.
