Strassen wurden mit schlammigen Wassermassen geflutet, in einigen Gegenden fiel an einem Tag mehr Regen als sonst in einem Monat. Der Wetterdienst Aemet in Valencia sprach in einer ersten Bilanz von einem «historischen Unwetter». Es habe sich um den schlimmsten «Kalten Tropfen» (gota fría) dieses Jahrhunderts in der Region Valencia gehandelt, schrieb Aemet auf X.

In der besonders betroffenen Mittelmeerregion Valencia türmen sich von Wassermassen zusammengeschobene Autos und versperren Hauseingänge. Viele Bewohner können gar nicht auf die Strasse, wie der spanische Fernsehsender RTVE berichtet. «Man hat uns hier völlig vergessen», sagte ein Mann vor laufender Kamera, halb weinend. «Niemand kommt, um die Autos wegzuziehen oder uns irgendetwas zu bringen. Man hat uns aufgegeben.» Die Menschen bräuchten Essen, Kleidung und Schaufeln, um selbst die Erdmassen wegschaufeln zu können.
