Las lluvias torrenciales provocan inundaciones en bajos y calles en Torredembarra y El Vendrell

Heavy rains have caused flooding in low-lying areas and streets in Torredembarra and El Vendrell, according to the latest reports from Tarragona. The towns of Torredembarra, El Vendrell, Creixell, and Roda de Berà experienced rainfall amounts of up to 200 liters per square meter, with 100 liters falling within just three hours. The Civil Protection authorities reported receiving 192 alerts related to the storm and evacuating 300 people from a campsite and around 150 from a discotheque.

Additionally, three people were treated for injuries caused by a wall collapse. The intense, prolonged rainfall was the primary cause of the reported issues, explained Chief Guard Xavier Masramon. The heavy rains led to the closure of the N-340 highway for much of the night, and rail traffic was affected by the flooding at the Sant Vicenç de Calders station, causing disruptions on several lines, including R2 Sud, R4, R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, and RT2.

An alert remains in effect, and forecasted rainfall is expected to move southward towards Terres de l'Ebre, bringing strong but less intense precipitation.
