A Brit holiday hotspot in Spain has been issued with severe storm and hail warnings after a huge 100mm of water poured onto the area – leaving cars submerged in the rain waters.
Weather warnings have been issued for 25 Spanish provinces, with eight places put on an orange caution, by Spain’s State Meteorological Agency (AEMET). Shocking images showed the aftermath after a staggering 100mm of rain fell in just one hour in the city of Tarazona, in the Zaragoza province. The banks of the Ebro River, which runs through the city, were put on a red alert on Friday.
This alert is set to remain in place late into Saturday evening after terrifying videos showed cars submerged in the murky rain waters that caused urban flooding in the holiday hotspot.
Local rescue teams rushed to over 30 flood-related incidents in the past two days, which included blocked roads and fallen trees, but thankfully no casualties have been reported.
