Residents of Valencian Suburb Voice their Horror at Impact of Deadly Floods | Spain Floods | News9

Residents of the flood-hit suburb of Torrent, on the outskirts of the Spanish city of Valencia, voiced their horror at the result of devastating floods that swept through their area.

Spanish rescue teams continued to look for survivors on Thursday (October 31) for those still missing after the devastating floods have killed at least 95 people, with forecasts of more bad weather prompting storm alerts further north.

Local authorities have not disclosed how many people are still unaccounted for after Europe's deadliest floods in years, but Defence Minister Margarita Robles said the death toll was likely to rise.

The floods in Valencia battered the region's infrastructure, sweeping away bridges, roads, railtracks and buildings as rivers burst their banks.

About 80 km (50 miles) of roads in the eastern region were seriously damaged or impassable, said Transport Minister Oscar Puente. Many were blocked by abandoned cars.

Meteorologists said a year's worth of rain had fallen in eight hours in parts of Valencia on Tuesday, submerging farmland in a region that produces about two-thirds of the citrus fruit grown in Spain, a leading global exporter of oranges.
