Catalonia Hit By Severe Storms And Flash Floods

Severe storms strike Catalonia, causing major damage and flooding across several towns. Two people remain missing in Cubelles, south of Barcelona, after the Foix river overflows. Emergency services deploy a large search operation in the area. The storm also affects towns like Suria, Igualada, and Vilafranca del Penedes, where the local hospital is temporarily evacuated and closed. First responders handle hundreds of incidents throughout the region as roads are cut off and rivers burst their banks.
