A severe storm hit a popular tourist destination in Spain, transforming roads into waterways and causing chaos. Videos captured cars submerged and pedestrians being knocked over by the rushing water in the city of Jaen. Drivers witnessed wheelie bins floating past them in the flooded streets as heavy downpours and a hailstorm added to the turmoil.
Terrifying scenes showed people struggling to stay on their feet amidst the powerful currents. The intense storm lasted only about 20 minutes but resulted in significant damage across the city and neighboring areas, prompting 110 calls to emergency services reporting flooding in various locations.
Images captured a man being carried down a street past a car with its windshield wipers running at full speed. The force of the storm upheaved paving stones and submerged outdoor terraces, disrupting the tranquil atmosphere where locals and tourists had been enjoying the sunny weather just the day before.
As of the following morning, it remained uncertain whether there were any injuries resulting from the dramatic weather event.
