At least 95 dead in severe spanish floods

Severe floods hit Valencia, Spain, resulting in at least 95 deaths, with many people still missing. Local authorities attribute the disaster to torrential rains that dumped a year’s worth of precipitation in only eight hours. Entire areas are cut off due to the floods caused by a cold front that affected southern and eastern parts of the country. Social media footage showed residents escaping the rising waters, some climbing trees for safety. In Letur, televised images depicted cars being swept away. This event marks Europe’s deadliest flooding since the 2021 German floods with 185 fatalities. Danish Michael Guldbech recounted to Ekstra Bladet his harrowing experience, leading to eventual refuge in an Ikea store before safely reaching his hotel.
