Spain is mourning as rescue teams continue their search for survivors following flash floods that killed at least 95 people in the Valencia and Castilla-La Mancha regions. Heavy rain, equaling over a year’s average in just eight hours, left communities devastated, blocking roads with mud, cars, and debris. Emergency crews, including soldiers, are reaching isolated areas by helicopter as Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez urged residents in affected areas to remain cautious with weather alerts still in place. Territorial Policy Minister Ángel Víctor Torres announced a three-day mourning period starting tomorrow. King Felipe VI expressed sorrow over the "enormous destruction."
