Two dead, Three Missing after Torrential Rains in Spain

[Meatpie]

At least two people died and three were missing as record rainfall caused heavy flooding in central Spain, shutting roads, subway lines and high-speed train connections, authorities said on Monday.

Helicopters were sent to rescue people who had sought refuge on the roofs of their homes in the Toledo area some 50 km (31 miles) southwest of Madrid, emergency services said.

The sudden downpour on Sunday and into early Monday transformed streets into rivers of mud that swept away cars and trash bins in Madrid, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia and Valencia regions. Hail also fell in many areas.

Updated sources said the number of deceased in the region of Castilla la Mancha rises to 3.

One of the deceased is a 22-year-old young man who was allegedly locked in the elevator of his garage. (probably drowned)
It took them several hours to reach him, so they could do nothing to save his life.

Horrible, thanks for update.

If you have photo of the guy please share.

Other videos and photos from the floods as well I couldn't find many but that's because I am not familiar with Spanish sources.
