The worst flood in Spain: Red alert after Storm Dana in Toledo and Madrid Natural disaster 4 September 2023. Several weather warnings have been issued across Spain as heavy rain causes major flooding across parts of the country. Maximum red weather alerts are in place in the Madrid, Toledo and Cádiz regions. Sunday's football match between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla was suspended due to the torrential rain. Residents in Madrid have been asked to stay at home due to “the exceptional and abnormal“ rainfall, the mayor said. In the Spanish capital alone, firefighters have been called to alleviate the situation in flooded roads 190 times. Much of the rainfall, brought by Storm Dana, has been concentrated in Cádiz, Tarragona and Castelló - coastal regions across the country. In the eastern province of Castelló, flooding led to firefighters rescuing a man trapped in his car, which was surrounded by waist-high flood water. People have also been advised to avoid unnecessary trips in the north-eastern city of Alcanar, Tarragona - where 215 litres per square meter of rain has fallen in the past 24 hours. Spain’s Civil Protection service asked the population of Alcanar, a town home to 9,600 people, to remain at home. It recommended residents seek shelter in the upper floors of their residences due to the heavy rainfall. Spain’s railway service Renfe reported that it has suspended trains between Catalonia and Valencia. There is no alternative bus service at the moment. Storm Dana has caused debris and mud to slide onto Spanish roads, while many vehicles have struggled to move in heavily flooded areas. According to El Pais newspaper, some train services have been called off across Spain and drivers have been warned to avoid certain flooded roads in heavily flooded areas. This weekend's weather events follow a scorching hot summer in Spain and much of southern Europe. Naturals hazards in 2022 have become more frequent. We do not know what awaits us in 2024.
