Thousands evacuated as parts of Spain hit with nearly a month’s rainfall in one hour

Severe storms and heavy rain have hit coastal Spain, forcing over 4,000 evacuations in Malaga just weeks after deadly floods in Valencia.

Nearly a month’s worth of rain fell in an hour, flooding streets and homes, prompting red alerts in Andalusia and Catalonia.

Rail services and events, including a Billie Jean King Cup match, were disrupted as authorities warned of river overflows and impassable roads, CNN has reported.
