Rescuers in Spain are continuing the search for bodies in stranded cars and sodden buildings after monstrous flash floods in Spain claimed at least 158 lives.
155 deaths have been confirmed in the eastern Valencia region alone, with more bad weather on the way in the coming days.
The damage from the storm late Tuesday and early Wednesday recalled the aftermath of a tsunami.
Cars were piled on one another, uprooted trees, downed power lines and household items all buried in mud that covered streets.
Spain’s state weather agency has issued further alerts about ‘strong storms’, with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez saying: ‘This storm front is still with us.
‘Stay home and heed the official recommendation and you will help save lives.’
Spain in ‘mourning’ after devastating floods
Rescuers are continuing searches for survivors – and bodies – after the historic floods across Spain this week.
A journalist saw rescuers remove seven body bags from an underground garage in Barrio de la Torre.
‘Our priority is to find the victims and the missing so we can help end the suffering of their families,’ Spanish prime minister Pedro Sanchez said.
Spain has declared three official days of mourning, with the first beginning yesterday (Thursday).
