Helicopters rescued people stranded on rooftops as torrential rains swept across eastern Spain yesterday, as floods and storms killed at least three people and shelter-in-place orders remained in force for more than 80,000 residents.
The downpour from Storm Adam cut off several towns along the Mediterranean coast as rivers burst their banks and streets turned into torrents, leaving scenes reminiscent of the catastrophic flooding that killed more than 230 people in the Valencia region two years ago.
