Further rainfall is expected in the evening, after the tragic floods which have already left 217 dead according to the latest report. The National Meteorological Agency has triggered its “red alert” and is calling on residents to return home.
Residents of the Valencia region (south-east of Spain), devastated at the start of the week by dramatic floods, are called on Sunday November 3 to return home due to the danger of further intense rainfall.
The police ask residents by megaphone to return home, according to an AFP journalist. The National Meteorological Agency has launched a new “red alert” for the southern coast of Valencia between 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., with possible precipitation of 90 liters/m2, or 9 cm, in one hour.
According to a latest report, 217 people died in the floods, including 213 in the Valencia region alone, three in Castile-la-Mancha, where the lifeless body of a sixty-year-old woman from Letur who went missing on Tuesday was discovered on Sunday morning, and one in Andalusia.
