Photos show devastating flash floods that killed at least 95 people in Spain

Desperate rescue efforts were underway across southern and eastern Spain on Thursday after torrential rain brought devastating floods that killed at least 95 people — a figure expected to rise. 

Stunning images emerged from Valencia, Spain’s third most populous city, showing dozens of cars wedged atop one another after being carried by a wave of mud and debris into the walls of the narrow city streets.

“Unfortunately, there are dead people inside some vehicles,” said Transport Minister Óscar Puente.

A year’s worth of rain fell in just eight hours in areas around the city, meteorologists said, fueling the worst natural disaster in the country’s modern history.
