Piled up cars, streets full of debris and submerged subway stations. Images of the trail of destruction in Valencia

The “most adverse storm of the 21st century”, as described by the Spanish State Meteorological Agency, and which has already caused dozens of deaths, is hitting the communities of Valencia and Malaga, leaving a trail of destruction wherever it passes. Hundreds of photographs and videos show entire towns flooded, cars that were swept away and ended up piled up, and the moments of rescue of people who for several hours tried to protect themselves on top of buildings, cars, and even trees.

“As in an apocalyptic movie,” writes an X user, who shared, in the early hours of this Wednesday, a video of a road full of overturned cars and debris that was dragged, in Valencia. The exchange of identical records occurs as the day progresses and certain areas become accessible.
