Flash floods turn Costa del Sol into red alert disaster zone
05-12-2016AS PRESIDENT of the Andalucian community, Susana Diaz, arrived in Malaga to visit the Centre of Emergencies and show solidarity for the thousands of home and business owners thought to have been affected by the widespread flooding, new of the first fatality broke.
An electrical storm, which stunned residents later described as being “the strongest in living memory” hit the Estepona area at around 4am and caused extensive chaos, with many people having been forced out of their homes.
Elsewhere, firefighters in Malaga City managed to rescue a man who became trapped in the pedestrian tunnel next to the Hacienda building, while three women were also saved on the Guadalhorce industrial estate.
President of the Industrial Estates Association of Malaga, Sergio Cuberos, confirmed that “the Santa Cruz estate is just a massive lake,” adding that “we have not seen anything like this since the floods in 1989.”
The driver of a public bus service that was almost entirely engulfed by a wall of water as the rio Guadalhorce broke its banks early in the day managed to escape unharmed, having been aided by two colleagues a few metres from the company’s garage.
Some citizens are being housed in the municipal sports centre after being rescued from the roofs of their houses, in one case the bonnet of a car.
