Heavy rains hit the Spanish province of Albacete in the southeast on Friday, October 2, leading to significant material damage, especially in the town of Madrigueras. According to the Spanish newspaper El País, the area recorded an unusually high rainfall of 142 liters per square meter. The intense rain caused flooding on both urban and connecting roads, with powerful water currents submerging streets and even moving vehicles, as reported by the Spanish police on X, formerly known as Twitter. In Madrigueras, strong flows of water and mud entered the streets, sweeping away several vehicles. The emergency services of the autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha, which includes Albacete, reported 112 incidents between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Friday. Many roads were closed due to the presence of water, and a 102-year-old woman was found dead after water entered her home, as stated by El País. Residents of Madrigueras watched helplessly as water surged through their neighborhoods. According to El País, 90 people were rescued in the city on Friday. Spanish authorities have urged residents to avoid "unnecessary movements" and not to enter areas that are flooded. The situation highlights the risks associated with extreme weather events, which are becoming more frequent in many parts of the world. Emergency services continue to respond to the crisis, working to ensure the safety of those affected by the heavy rainfall.
