Severe Floods Hit Aragón and Cantabria

Published: 2024-08-30

Severe weather conditions have struck the regions of Aragón and Cantabria in Spain, causing significant flooding in several towns.

In Aragón, the towns of Herrera de los Navarros and Liébana have been particularly affected, with streets turning into torrents and water inundating homes and businesses.

The State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued an orange alert for heavy storms across Aragón, warning of potential torrential downpours at any time of the day.

This has led to the activation of the Special Civil Protection Plan for adverse weather conditions in Aragón.

In the town of Potes, heavy rains have swept through streets, damaging property and forcing road closures.

The situation remains critical as authorities continue to monitor the evolving weather patterns.
