Let us compare this with the Rhine. At its mouth, the average flow of the Rhine is about 2,330 m³/s. The Rhine's catchment area covers 198,000 km². The latest available data from 29 October, explains the Spanish Hydrographic Confederation, is from 18:55, when the flow reached 2,282 cubic metres per second (m3/s). After that hour, the sensors were destroyed by the water. The flow reached exceeded 3,200 m3/s. The river bed in that area is normally dry, without water. The destruction did not reach the capital (Valencia) because it was protected by important river diversion works; the new protective channel in Valencia worked very well and exceeded 2,000 m3/s.

It has been said there is going to be more heavy rain next Tuesday inSpain. Lets pray.

Wow, this video really highlights the impact of nature in such a profound way. It’s hard to believe how quickly things can change. However, I can’t help but think that the authorities could have done more to mitigate the damage. Maybe better infrastructure would’ve made a difference? Just feels like there's always room for improvement when it comes to disaster preparedness.

Why were certain dams dismantled and demolished which would have prevented this tragedy??? Someone needs to explain why and face manslaughter charges. Its not down to Climate change as the BBC were quick to report…

i passed through the other day and you cant really tell. most of the rubbish and mud has been cleaned up now.

Beneficiaries: Vulture funds and Morocco. The Sanchez regime worked for its masters. Whatever it takes

Beneficiados: Fondos buitre y Marruecos. El regimen de sanchez trababa para sus amos. Cueste lo que cueste.

Mother nature's wrath hath no equal.

Valencia oh Valencia, you should let Israel ships docking… Why you support Hamas and Hezbollah…?

Watch mud flood 1800 also it’s not a climate change it’s an EMPCOE event and we are on verge of changing age.

We r in the last days.🙏

I feel really sorry for wictim of this tragedy , but we need to understand about the rivers and floating ,rivers will always go over filed cose the float , what you expect when building or buying the house next to the river ? Building industry should be at least 10m above the river standard level ,that will cut lots of problems.

Hard to believe the weather forecasters didn’t anticipate this. There is nothing other than an early warning and going to higher elevations, you can’t stop the damage from natural disasters.

Los Españoles de esta zona,ahora mismo sois fuera de peligro?

Great vidio

Israël and USA done it! 😡

Revelation, 20:15 – And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

the river beds are so dry, they been turned into parks with trees and walking paths… i guess they didnt see it coming

Spain is a third world non European country

They were abandoned. They were left to fend for themselves. Spain had removed the dams.

Green agenda in full force

Praying for their recovery.

How the spanish hurry recognised palestine. They don't even have election for 20 years , thier supported attacked neighbor . Look what they get?

Im puzzled about the numbers of victims.
Until a couple of days ago, there were 219 dead and 1900 missing.
Where have they gone?

200 deads? It's a lie 😢

Who reads the guardian 😢

Yet still we burn fossil fuels.

The EU are fully responsible .

El presidente no envio ayuda
La propia gente afectada y vecinos junto a cientos o miles de jovenes voluntarios,a los que estaremos eternamente agradecidos y orgullosos de ellos,fueron que se encargaron de limpiar y llevar alimentos y agua a las personas de las zonas arrasadas.
En Paiporta se atacó a Sanchez pues habian estado casi una semana sin que se enviasen militares a ayuda.Aunque solo emitieron las imagenes de los reyes Sanchez estaba alli tambien pero huyó en cuanto la gente empezo a insultarle por asesino dejando abandonados a los reyes
En España tenemos un gobierno asesino dictador que hace que en las noticias digan que todo lo que ha pasado en esas poblaciones son mentiras
El ejercito ha aparecido una semana despues
La ayuda real no ha venido del gobierno y se debe de saber que el gobierno de España es responsable por dejar abandonadas presas de agua en lugar de derruirlas con precauciones dejando que se rompan y provoquen estas tragedias que se llevan vidas,vidas que a Sanchez y su gobierno miserable no les importan
Todos los politicos en este pais han dejado que pase y ninguno ha tomado medidas contra Sanchez , la ministra de justicia aun teniendo eurodiputados que podrian haber denunciado la situacion desesperada en la que estaban esas personas enterradas en barro

Going to cost billions to rebuild and improve the infrastructure… Tony cuenca

You should show the 'before and after' of the 228 dams that were removed in Spain over the 2022-2023 period. All part of the EU 2030 Water Directive..

So nobody is going to mention the 200 dams removed for EU "environmental" reasons? The same reason s we don't dredge rivers then whine when they flood? How about Span complaining that the $10M upgrade to their cloud seeding flights might have an ill effect on weather if it blows the wrong way, as it did in the UAE recently? No? These Climate Shills are causing extreme weather to push a lie now.

Pointless the west trying to tackle climate change when Asia and Russia not doing anything much.

Such a mass is impossible to control, but it happened partly at the Spaniards' own request… Their terrain is often mountainous, and they have concreted their surroundings: concrete street walls, concrete driveways, concrete streets, concrete fences. And now the water rushes down this smooth gutter like a locomotive, and does not flow calmly like it does along a riverbed.

Thank you for the great video! I hope all those people have food, clean water and shelter.

there could be a thousand dead?

Are 'natural disasters' greater than, equal to or less than "GENOCIDE"?

Tell the truth. This is on the EU. The Dams & barriers that protected Valencia region have been removed to restore Bio-Diversity. I have just come back from Spain & the people are really angry. This disaster is on the EU & Spanish politicians who knew Valencia is a flood bowl with 700 years of flooding but removed the protection anyway. They have blood on their hands!

wao que tristeza Dios los ayude a salir adelante saludos para todos desde República Dominicana adelante valencia España

Perhaps if the EU hadn't removed their flood defences it wouldn't have happened! I was there when it happened and talked to Spanish people who are angry at opposing the removal but were ignored.

I hope they recover looks nasty

This is what happens when your country puts 'biodiversity' before flood protections and removes the dams
