The flooding is some of the worst that Spain has seen in decades. Satellite images released by the European Space Agency capture the scale of the devastation Other images, which Business Insider geolocated and compared with images from Google Street View show how the rainfall badly affected certain places in and around Valencia This image from the US Landsat-8 satellite shows the landscape around Valencia on October 8 it's about 28 miles from the city of Alzira Before-and-after satellite images captured by Maxar Technologies show widespread destruction across the Valencia Province Depicted here is a highway that was damaged by floodwaters As of Thursday, about 300 people remained cut off from rescue due to damaged roads, EFE — Spain's state news agency — reported. The Sedaví area of Valencia is almost unrecognizable in these images from before and after the flash floods The floodwaters flipped cars on their sides, inundated highways Some were forced to flee to their rooftops to await rescue where at least 62 people were killed by the floods Sudden, catastrophic rain events are becoming more of a problem worldwide as global temperatures rise largely because warmer air holds more moisture The number of people unaccounted for remains unclear, EFE reported. That said, about 3,400 people have been rescued. As the planet heats up for decades to come, droughts and rain events will likely become more and more extreme. That's one of many reasons scientists have been calling for companies, countries, and industries to drastically cut their carbon emissions. If business continues as normal, research suggests there will be more floods like this in the future. 20244:47 PM UTCIn pictures: Spain braces for fresh storms after deadly Valencia floodsSpaniards braced for further heavy rain and storms just two weeks after rain and flash floods prompted rivers to overflow in Valencia and other parts of Spain killing more than 200 people and destroying homes and property [1/19]Cars are piled up next to one of the main entrances to the city of Valencia where many people were trapped due to heavy rains [2/19]Army personnel clean a drainage system blocked by mud following catastrophic flooding [3/19]A volunteer takes part in a clean up following catastrophic flooding [5/19]A field of oranges is pictured following rains and flash floods that caused rivers to burst their banks in Valencia and other parts of Spain [6/19]Volunteers clean muddy water following catastrophic flooding [8/19]Sewer lids are seen open in the Campanillas neighbourhood after Spanish meteorological agency AEMET issued red alerts due to heavy rains [9/19]A general view of a cemetery damaged by the heavy rains in Sedavi [10/19]A cat walks atop a counter at a toy shop affected by heavy rains at a shopping centre [11/19]Firefighters clean a drainage system blocked by mud following catastrophic flooding [12/19]A woman walks next to damaged cars on a street covered in mud following catastrophic flooding [13/19]A person crosses the La Saleta ravine that recently overflowed due to heavy rainfall in Aldaia [14/19]People walk on a street next to the Barranco del Poyo ravine as it passes through the town of Catarroja which was seriously affected due to severe flooding [15/19]A man stands next to vehicles damaged in deadly floods in Catarroja in the aftermath of the flooding caused by heavy rains in Catarroja [19/19]Muddy toys are piled up outside a toy shop affected by heavy rains at a shopping centre , opens new tab Browse an unrivalled portfolio of real-time and historical market data and insights from worldwide sources and experts. , opens new tabScreen for heightened risk individual and entities globally to help uncover hidden risks in business relationships and human networks. © 2025 Reuters.
