The Spanish city of Barcelona has been hit by flooding, as search and rescue efforts continue following devastating flooding around Valencia.
Spain’s state meteorological agency placed parts of the Catalonia region on red alert, with cars submerged on highways and flooding at Barcelona’s El Prat airport, where many flights were cancelled.
Search teams confirmed that at least 217 people are now known to have died in the flooding which struck the Valencia region. The storm trapped many victims in vehicles on roads and in underground spaces, such as car parks, tunnels and garages.

Why don’t they tell the right number of death
Because politics will loose theirs jobs
Shame on them
Pobre gente. Me recuerda las inundaciones del Estado Vargas en Venezuela. Ojalá el gobierno de España y la comunidad internacional ayuden..
Dam shame: what really caused Valencia’s floods?
Who is to blame for the devastating floods that hit Valencia on 29 October? The mob that surrounded King Felipe at the weekend and drove Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez out of town with a hail of mud and stones was angry at the failure to forecast the flood and warn people to get out of its way. The BBC would like us to be angry at man-made climate change for causing the storm – putting out a headline the very next day: ‘Scientists say climate change made Spanish floods worse.’
Yet Valencia had a similarly terrible flood in 1957, in which 81 people died, long before climate change became the go-to excuse for any bad weather. After that flood, to prevent a recurrence, the Spanish government built a string of dams in the hills to hold back water and diverted the Turia river away from the city.
Under a European Union programme to encourage the restoration of rivers to their wild state for the benefit of fish migration, Spain set about dismantling barriers of all kinds. In 2021 it got rid of 108 dams and weirs; in 2022, another 133
Totalling 241 dams removed by Spanish authorities under EU mandatory directives !
What do you think could be the cause for this self harming ?
