This Wednesday, October 30, a DANA (Isolated High Level Depression) has devastated the east and south of the peninsula. Unfortunately 95 people have lost their lives, we send our condolences and condolences to their families, hoping that the dozens of missing tonight are safe. It is estimated that more than 1000 people are still trapped...

The troops sent by the police, UME, firefighters and civil guard have rescued thousands of people who have been rescued from their homes, roofs and cars. As well as their pets. The animal shelters of Valencia, Jerez, etc. are asking for foster homes for these days.

Most affected areas.

In the province of Valencia, the small municipality of Utiel was completely isolated with access cut off by road due to the overflow of the Magro River.

In addition to this Valencian town, Torrente, Paiporta, La Ribera, Requena and Huerta Sur, are other areas most affected by the floods and some are still without water, electricity or coverage.

The Picanya bridge (Valencia) has collapsed due to the flood of the Poyo ravine, which crosses the municipalities of Paiporta and Picanya.
