51 Deaths in Spain... Storm Dana: The Strongest Storm of the 21st Century Strikes, Leaving Massive

Storm Dana, regarded as the strongest storm to hit Spain in the 21st century, swept through the country with unprecedented force, leaving behind a scene of massive devastation and widespread flooding that engulfed vast areas of both urban and rural regions. This intense storm unleashed sudden and heavy rainfall, leading to torrential flows that inundated streets, homes, and vehicles, causing significant damage to infrastructure. The floodwaters surged into residential areas, destroying roads and bridges and reducing homes to rubble in some regions where flood levels reached record heights.

The situation worsened as the waters submerged entire streets and neighborhoods, turning some into flowing rivers, isolating numerous villages and cities, and cutting off public and private transportation. This led to an economic paralysis in certain affected areas, with residents struggling to meet basic needs. Major challenges also emerged in commuting between workplaces and residences, as many were unable to secure daily essentials due to disrupted transportation and road closures.
