The streets of Cadaqués (Spain) transformed into a torrent. During the night of Thursday November 7 to Friday November 8, violent rains caused considerable damage in the Catalan city. Like the previous week in Valencia, the rains were torrential: 100 mm of water fell in a few hours. The residents woke up in shock: “It happened around 4 a.m., around 5 a.m., I came to see my car which was completely destroyed”deplores a young woman.
Around thirty cars were swept away by these flash floods, which offer a new spectacle of desolation, a week after the disaster which befell the Valencia region. The worst was avoided according to a trader: “If the sea water had risen as well, it could have been much more serious”she explains. No casualties have been reported. Further rain is expected in the Pyrénées-Orientales in the coming hours.
