Flooding ravages Spanish coastal town of Alcanar

Description

Hours of heavy rains trigger flooding in Spain with some coastal areas overwhelmed by flash floods that washed away cars and trees. One of the worst-hit areas was Alcanar, a town 200 kilometres south of Barcelona, where huge torrents of fast-moving water surged through the streets, sweeping away everything in its path. IMAGES
