SPAIN SLAMMED by Severe Storms – 11 Injured, Hundreds Evacuated (Shocking Details)

Flooding has spread across eastern Spain as a prolonged storm system moves beyond the coast and into inland communities. On Saturday, October 3, 2026, authorities were still dealing with heavy rain, flooded streets and dangerous runoff after storms struck Catalonia, Valencia and parts of central Spain. The latest major incident came Friday evening in Madrigueras, Albacete, where floodwater reached about twenty inches in parts of town, swept cars through the streets and forced two people to be rescued. More than 100 emergency calls were reported, while roads, garages and ground floors were flooded. The storm's earlier impacts included collapsed walls and evacuations along the Catalan coast, while forecasters continued warning of heavy rain across eastern Spain. The setup is linked to slow-moving storms fueled by warm, moisture-rich air over the Mediterranean and a DANA pattern.
