Watch as yet MORE horror floods smash Spain with torrents sweeping cars like litter just days after more than 200 killed

A FRESH wave of horror floods has smashed Spain yet again with devastating footage showing powerful torrents sweeping cars like litter.

It comes while the country is still reeling from torrential rains and storms that wreaked havoc – killing more than 200 people and leaving a trail of utter disaster.

Now Spain’s Almeria city has been hit by fresh floods as more regions turn into sight of carnage.

Agonising footage shows the roads turned into rivers as torrents of debris-filled mud sweep away cars, people, animals, and buildings.

The worst affected areas included El Ejido, Vicar and Roquetas as well as the provincial capital.

Emergency rescuers revealed how they had to attend to some 40,000 incidents last evening because of torrential rain.

Three people had to be rescued near the town of Vicar after a raging torrent of water swept away parked cars in the area.

Parts of Majorca are on orange alert today with very heavy rain predicted for the south and east of the island.

Weather warnings are also in place for the northern part of the Costa Blanca including the holiday resorts of Denia and Calpe and the southern part of Valencia.

Torrential rain has also been predicted for tomorrow in Malaga province, where a 71-year-old British expat died of hypothermia and a suspected heart attack just days ago.

However, there have been no reports of human casualties in Catarroja or Almeria so far.

Last week, another wave of floods raged through the centre of Cadaques – a town in Girona, in the northeastern region of Catalan.

Residents woke up to the fresh destruction with local mayor Pia Serinyana confirming over 30 cars had been washed away by flooding.

Cadaques is just over 300 miles north of Valencia, where more than 200 people including two Brits lost their lives in flash floods late last month and 78 people are still missing.

It marked Spain’s worst natural disaster in memory prompting the King and Queen to visit devastated areas themselves in an effort to boost morale and talk to survivors.

Hellish scenes when the floods were rampant saw roads turned into rivers and torrents of debris-filled mud sweeping away cars, people, animals and buildings.

Aerial shots of a car junkyard outside of Pairporta – belonging to the province of Valencia where the floods hit the worst – show various scrapped vehicles mounted on one another.

Most have missing windscreens and windows that would have been pushed in by the deadly floods.

Meanwhile, the fronts and rears of some vehicles in the car graveyard are captured and completely crushed.

Another shocking image shows the dashboard of a wrecked car that’s coated with mud on the inside.

So much so that grass has actually started to sprout.

The yard itself is completely brown from the floods and resembles more of a swamp with some vehicles’ wheels halfway sunken into the ground.

Mud on the outside of the cars now looks to have hardened as efforts continue to clean up regions that remain in crisis after the floods.

Over the weekend, some 100,000 furious protestors took over the streets to protest against the government’s “ineffective“ handling of the deadly floods.

Tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of Valencia as they hurled burning flares, bottles and brooms at the heavily armoured officers.

Demonstrators demanded several top officials – including the regional president of the city – to resign over the torrential flooding as they continue to blast how the catastrophe was dealt with.

Regional leader Carlos Mazon has been heavily scrutinised after his administration took hours to issue any kind of flood warning to citizens.

Hundreds died in the tragic disaster which started on October 29 with many people still missing across eastern Spain.

Droves of passionate marchers called for Mazon to leave his role as they protested outside Valencia’s city hall.

Hundreds came with angry signs reading things such as “Mazon Resign“ and “You Killed Us“.

Others spent hours chanting in the streets and even threw mud at the government building in protest.

Earlier this month, more Spain flood survivors were seen throwing mud at King Felipe.

Fuming residents chanted “murderers!“ as the monarch and his wife Queen Letizia walked through the ravaged streets of Paiporta, just outside Valencia.

Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez also had to be evacuated from the scene, as chaos erupted when the official contingent started to walk.

Footage showed people attacking the PM’s car, chasing the black SUV as police sirens were heard in the background.

Over a week on from the devastating floods, nearly 100 people are still officially declared as missing.

Authorities have even been forced to admit that more may be still unaccounted for.

Over 1,200 troops, dozens of specialist sniffer dogs and rescue workers have all been battling against the torrid conditions to try and find any survivors.

The latest piece of tech being used to help recover bodies is a research ship called the Ramón Margalef.

It has been enlisted to undertake the grim task of searching for cars and bodies swept out to sea in the catastrophic floods.

The vessel will be using a robot submarine and sonar to scan and map the seabed in the increasingly desperate search for those who were swept away.
