Valentine's residents have described the situation from the floods as a “makth” scene. “We all know someone who died”, says one of the residents, writes A2.
The emergency centre in Valencia is identifying the victims. “Continues the process of collecting and identifying victims”, the centre said, while Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited the centre earlier this morning.
Emergency teams are continuing their search for the missing, with hundreds of soldiers deployed in Valencia to assist in the operation.
Video footage shows some saviors struggling with flood waters to search for survivors.
Meanwhile, today a new warning has been given about the weather for a portion of the Valley region, destroyed by yesterday's tragedy. The state meteorological agency Aemat issued, at X, the highest level of alarm for the province of Castello, A2 reports.
There are already very severe storms in the area, especially north of Castello. Bad weather goes on! Be careful!
Spanish Civil Protection sent a message to the inhabitants of Castelón that “in case of heavy rains” they stay in their homes “in the high-size box” and, if they're on the road, “will be accommodated in high places”. Civil protection also requires citizens not to move to the streets after the new weather warning. (A2 Television)
