In the aftermath of the devastating flash floods that claimed the lives of over 200 people in the Valencia region, parts of Spain are once again being pummeled by heavy rain. Just days after the initial disaster, the city of Barcelona in Catalonia is now facing its own red alert as the Spanish weather service issues a warning.
Meanwhile, in Valencia, the residents are still reeling from the destruction caused by the floods. As they continue to search for missing loved ones and clear away the mud and debris that have ravaged their towns and villages, a shocking footage has emerged from the Barcelona El Prat airport. The runway and terminal are completely submerged, turning the once bustling airport into a virtual sea.
Despite the treacherous conditions, an Iberia passenger plane can be seen braving the rain and making its way through the flooded tarmac. Other passengers can be seen wading through the soaked terminal, clutching their belongings. The situation is so dire that one runway has even been forced to close due to the flooding, causing major disruptions to air travel.
The Spanish meteorological service, AEMET, has warned of extreme danger along the northeastern coast as the torrential rains show no signs of letting up. Roads and railways have become overwhelmed by the deluge, with the A-27 highway being completely covered by a landslide. In light of these hazardous conditions, AEMET has advised people to exercise extreme caution and to only travel if absolutely necessary.
While the residents of Catalonia struggle to cope with the ongoing floods, those in Valencia are also facing their own challenges. The city's airport has been severely affected by the heavy rains, and people are being urged to share their experiences and any updates via email or comment. Salvador Illa, the President of the Catalonian government, has expressed his gratitude to the emergency services for their quick action in reopening the C-32 highway, but has also urged extreme caution on the road and advised against unnecessary travel.
The entire country is still reeling from one of Spain's worst natural disasters, and the relief response has been met with criticism from furious survivors. Many feel that the government has been too slow in providing aid, leaving them to fend for themselves in the midst of this tragedy. This anger was on full display when King Felipe VI visited a flooded neighborhood in Valencia, as residents threw mud and screamed in frustration. The King was forced to seek shelter while police on horseback tried to calm the crowds.
As the rain continues to pour down on Spain, the people are left to pick up the pieces and come to terms with the destruction that has been wrought upon their communities. In these trying times, it is important for everyone to exercise caution and help each other in any way they can.
