Spain is in chaos! On Saturday, heavy rains and hail slammed northeastern Spain, including Catalonia, causing catastrophic floods that flooded streets and brought life to a halt. Imagine this: cars literally swimming in the streets, and train traffic completely stopped for hours! The meteorological agency AEMET issued a red alert for much of Catalonia, where some areas saw several liters of rain per square meter in just a few hours. Hospitals in Barcelona had to refuse new patients due to power outages, and emergency services responded to over 70 calls, thankfully with no serious injuries.
And it gets crazier! A plane that took off from Barcelona to the United States had to turn back because hail damaged its nose! Flight controllers confirmed this incident, showing just how dangerous and unpredictable the weather was. The railway company Renfe suspended traffic on high-speed, regional, and suburban lines in Catalonia, while other northeastern regions like Aragon and Valencia were also hit by heavy rains.
This is not just rain; this is a natural disaster that paralyzed an entire region. Has the weather gone mad, or are we just powerless against its force? If you thought floods were far away from you, think again — nature can surprise at any moment. What do you think, is this just the start of bigger weather madness or is worse yet to come? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s ready for the next storm!
