There were severe floods in Spain: many people disappeared, a train derailed.

Radio and television received many calls from people needing help in flooded areas or looking for loved ones. As a result of heavy rains on Tuesday, October 29, flooding occurred in southern and eastern Italy. At least seven people are missing, roads have been closed and high-speed rail services have been suspended. Rescue services were unable to reach all affected communities due to heavy flooding.

The Spanish Meteorological Agency has declared a red alert for the eastern part of Valencia. Because of this, radio and television received many calls from people needing help or looking for their loved ones. The president of the Generalitat of Valencia, Carlos Mason, said: “The bodies of the victims have been recovered, but out of respect for the families we will not provide any further information.” 12 planes due to land at Valencia airport were diverted and 10 flights were canceled due to heavy rain and strong winds.

National rail operator ADIF has suspended high-speed train services between Madrid and Valencia due to damage to the tracks. A high-speed train carrying 276 passengers derailed in the Andalusia region, but no one was injured. This became known from reports by Reuters and The Guardian.
