At least 62 people have been killed in eastern Spain after heavy rainfall led to flash flooding, leaving towns and roads underwater. Rescue efforts were underway with rescuers using dinghies to search floodwaters in Valencia. Some people remained isolated in inaccessible locations, with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez offering condolences and promises to rebuild. Emergency services faced challenges due to access issues in reaching affected areas. Videos on social media showed people trapped by floodwaters, with some rescued by bulldozer. Trains to Madrid and Barcelona were canceled, and schools and essential services suspended. The region saw 40-50 gallons of rain per square yard, with the storm moving to the north and northwest of Spain. The rain was expected to continue until at least Thursday.
