Torrential rains caused severe flooding in northeastern Catalonia of Spain, trapping people in vehicles and homes on Sunday.
The day before, heavy rains disrupted travel on the Mediterranean island of Ibiza, prompting the National Weather Agency to issue the highest red alert for Tarragona province.
All trains running through the Mediterranean corridor between Barcelona and Valencia, Spain’s second and third-largest cities, were suspended until further notice.
Catalonia’s civil protection service extended its mass telephone alert, urging residents to avoid travel and stay away from waterways.
Ibiza, a popular holiday destination, experienced flooding for the second time in two weeks as the storm moved east and north across the Mediterranean after drenching southeastern Spain.
