RED ALARM FOR WEATHER ON EAST COAST OF SPAIN

[JLWV]

All pilgrims in east of Spain, Valencia, Alicante, Murcia, Almeria must be very careful as we experiment in this moment the strongest rains showers of the last 100 years.
We are in ALERTA ROJA METEOROLOGICA, and several areas are flooded with rivers getting furiously out of their bed.

 

[JLWV]

In this moment there are at least 2 dead persons.
Please look at newspapers and TV news for update information.

Last Monday the Amigos from Valencia were filming a TV report about the Camino de Levante, and the Canyoles river was absolutely dry, today it is out of its bed.

Definitely serious. Hopefully no more lives lost.

The meteoalarm site (https://www.meteoalarm.eu/) has a good map of the affected areas for those who might have difficulty following a Spanish language news service. The Spanish weather service portal also provides information in a range of languages other than Spanish.

Wow!
Walking the Mozarabe in April, on those tedious dry river beds, it was hard to believe that the river bed would ever fill with water. Now I can see.

Thank you for alerting us

That's a very timely warning, thanks for the "heads up".
Looks like rain of Biblical proportions...
