Drive Through Piles Of Washed-Away Cars In Spain
Extraordinary Scenes After Flash Floods Hit Eastern Spain
Cars are submerged in the streets after flash floods hit the eastern Spanish region of Alicante on Wednesday.
The floods caused widespread damage to homes and businesses, and swept away cars, leaving them piled up in the streets. The town of Almoradà was particularly badly hit, with cars submerged in the streets and water reaching the first floor of some buildings.
The floods were caused by heavy rainfall, which started on Tuesday evening and continued throughout the night. The rain was so intense that it caused the Segura River to burst its banks, sending torrents of water through the town.
The floods have left a trail of destruction in their wake, with homes and businesses damaged, and cars destroyed. The authorities are still assessing the extent of the damage, but it is clear that it will be significant.
The floods are a reminder of the power of nature, and the importance of being prepared for extreme weather events. The authorities are urging people to stay away from flooded areas, and to take precautions if they are planning to travel.
Here are some tips for staying safe during a flood:
- Stay away from flooded areas.
- If you must cross a flooded area, use a sturdy stick to help you keep your balance.
- Do not drive through flooded areas.
- If you are caught in a flood, try to climb to higher ground.
