Devastating Floods in Valencia: A Storm's Deadly Impact

In Spain, the usually sunny region of Valencia was hit by a massive storm that left at least 64 people dead. The rain poured down so hard that some places got a year's worth of rain in just one night! This isn't something that happens every day. In fact, the last time it rained this much in such a short time was back in 1996. The Spanish military was called in to help with the rescue efforts, with over 1, 000 members pitching in. It's a sad scene with flooded streets, submerged cars, and even trucks stuck in the water.
But why so much rain? Well, the Mediterranean Sea has been warming up, and this can lead to more intense weather events. It's like when you're really hot, you might start sweating more—the same thing happens with the Earth. Just last year, Spain faced severe flooding that killed three people, and another storm caused deaths across Europe.
The bad news is that more rain is expected. The weather folks say it could move north, so people living in those areas should be ready. It's a tough time for many, but help is on the way.
