Floods That Wrecked Catalonia!
Have you seen what happened in northeastern Spain? Catalonia is literally underwater! So much rain that the entire region was put in a red danger zone. The meteorological agency AEMET was not joking – in just a few hours, so much rain fell that streets turned into rivers and trains stopped as if it was the end of the world.
Transport in Total Chaos
Imagine this: railway traffic in Catalonia was completely halted for several hours! High-speed, regional, and suburban trains – all stopped. Barcelona airport faced chaos, one plane had to return because the city was damaged! A hospital in Barcelona had to stop admitting patients due to a power outage. Yes, you read that right – floods knocked out the electricity in a hospital!
People in Panic, Emergency Services Overwhelmed
More than 70 people sought help from emergency services, but luckily, no one was seriously injured. The red alert was activated around 5 PM and lifted only two hours later. Still, the damage is huge, and the weather shows no signs of easing.
Wider Region Also Hit
It’s not just Catalonia – other parts of northeastern Spain, including Aragon and the Valencia region, were also affected. All because of one storm that brought a literal flood!
What’s Going on with the Climate?
This isn’t just a local problem. Such extreme weather events are becoming more frequent. Is this a sign that the climate is sending us a serious message? If you don’t believe it, just look at the pictures and videos of torrents carrying everything away.
Conclusion?
Catalonia is in chaos right now, and we all need to pay attention to these disasters that can hit any of us. If you think this is just another rain, think again. Nature doesn’t forgive, and we’re in the crosshairs.
