Spain Floods: Mother Swept Away by Raging Torrent
Firefighters used drones and police divers in a nightlong search after torrential rain swept the mother away, while officials warned of more flooding.
- Authorities recovered the body of a 35-year-old woman in the port of Premià de Mar on Sunday morning after she was swept into a swollen stream in Cabrera de Mar on Saturday evening.

- Emergency officials continue to warn residents against crossing flooded streams, with red alerts currently in place for the south coast of Valencia and north of Alicante.
