Spanish emergency workers have found the bodies of nine more people in a garage in a suburb of Valencia.
The grim discovery in the La Torre district of the city brings the total number of deaths from the devastating floods to over 100.
The district’s narrow streets were turned into death traps as walls of gushing water poured through them.
The flood waters ripped into the ground floors of homes and swept cars and people away before they could reach safety.
They left a trail of utter devastation in their wake, with cars piled on top of one another, trees uprooted and power lines downed.
The area looked like a powerful hurricane or tsunami had hit it.
Many people died after being trapped inside their cars, unable to get out and flee to safety.
“The neighbourhood is destroyed, all the cars are on top of each other, it’s literally smashed up,” said Christian Viena, a bar owner in Barrio de la Torre.
Regional and local emergency workers, joined by over 1,000 soldiers, are carrying out the rescue operation.
Spain’s Defence Minister said that soldiers alone had recovered 22 bodies and rescued 110 people by Wednesday night.
Communities are still trying to come to terms with the horrific impact of the floods, some of the worst Spain has experienced in decades.
Paco, a business owner near Valencia, told Sky News: “We have lost the business. All of these cars
“We lost everything because of the flooding. And now, who is going to pay for this?
“We have been totally ruined.”
Carolina Torner, whose home was destroyed in the flood, recounted how she saw a woman in deep water who was only just managing to keep her face above the surface.
