Torrential rains in eastern Spain have caused two fatalities, according to authorities, who issued warnings about the risk of flooding and river overflows on Sunday, October 4. At least one person is also reported missing, according to Catalan firefighters. The severe weather event is expected to conclude on Sunday. During the night, rescue teams assisted people trapped in vehicles due to flooding in Granollers, north of Barcelona, and in other areas. One victim died after a wall collapsed at a campsite in Tordera, while the other drowned in a flooded garage in Montornès del Vallès, both towns in the province of Barcelona. "It seems that there are two fatal victims, as well as at least one person missing," said David Borrell, head of the Catalan region's firefighters, during a press conference. The storm, which caused the cancellation of a housing rights demonstration in Barcelona on Saturday, is expected to end on Sunday, October 4. The heavy rains in Barcelona are due to a meteorological phenomenon marked by "heavy and persistent showers and thunderstorms" in eastern Spain, which began on Thursday. This weather event had already caused the death of a 102-year-old woman, who was swept away by floods in a town in the Castilla-La Mancha region, in the southeast of the country, on Saturday. According to the Spanish meteorological agency Aemet, more than 100 liters of rain per square meter accumulated in many places during the night. The Spanish Civil Protection sent warnings to residents near the Besós river via mobile phone on Sunday morning, alerting them of a "flood risk" and advising them to move to the "upper floors" of their homes if necessary. Authorities urged residents in the most vulnerable areas to stay indoors and canceled public events. "The extreme danger situation continues in certain areas of Barcelona and Girona," said Aemet.
