New floods have hit the Girona region in northeastern Spain, carrying away 30 cars in the town of Cadaqués, according to Spanish media, as reported by the BBC.
Videos posted on social media on Friday morning show a torrent of water overflowing on the street and a pile of cars stacked on top of each other, blocked under a bridge.
No casualties have been reported in this new episode of flooding hitting the country.
The floods in Cadaqués occurred in the early hours of Friday morning, causing approximately 30 vehicles to be swept away by the waters and pile up under a bridge, stated the Catalonia fire service. Fortunately, no one was injured, emergency services added.
Other potentially dangerous meteorological phenomena are expected in the region overnight.
The Catalonia meteorological service issued a rain warning from Friday evening until Saturday afternoon for the Alt Emporda area, where Cadaqués is located. The meteorological agency warned that the rainfall intensity could bring 20 liters per square meter of rain in just 30 minutes.
The agency recorded 76.8 liters per square meter of rain in Cadaqués on the 7th and 8th of November and over 100 liters in two other nearby towns.
More than 200 people were killed last week, most in the Valencia area, in one of the most severe flood events in Europe this century. The disaster sparked intense anger against authorities for not issuing emergency alerts earlier.
From October 1st to November 5th, in Spain, which had been facing a dry period, it rained 72% more than the normal value for this period, according to AEMET, the Spanish meteorological agency.
The precipitation, intensified by climate change according to experts, led to sudden floods that trapped people in cars.
