Fatal floods strike Spain and Portugal, thousands evacuating
AI Summary
Spain and Portugal are preparing for Storm Marta, just days after deadly flooding from Storm Leonardo. Over 26,500 rescuers have been deployed in Portugal, where three municipalities postponed the presidential vote. Both countries have issued warnings for potential new floods, following widespread disruptions including road closures, train delays, and the evacuation of thousands. Southern Spain, particularly Andalusia, and the northwest are under orange alert for heavy rain and storms. While the rainfall is expected to be less severe than Leonardo, the region is still recovering from mass flooding, landslides, and previous evacuations.
