A flood turned the streets of the town of Madrigueras, in the Spanish province of Albacete, into real rivers, after 142 liters of water per square meter fell. The images capture the extent of the floods, which caused the death of a woman.
A 102-year-old woman was found dead in her home after the waters exceeded one meter in height inside the house, as reported by El Pais.
The authorities in the Castilla-La Mancha region have activated an extensive intervention device, and emergency teams have carried out rescue operations throughout Friday afternoon and into the early hours of the night.
Approximately 90 people have been rescued, most of them from homes affected by water accumulation. Emergency services received numerous calls from people seeking information and help, saying they are scared and do not know how to react to the floods.
After the rescue operations, the authorities began cleaning and removing vehicles taken by the water or left stranded in the flooded areas.
