The striking images of the storm in Ávila: raging rivers and black channels

A severe storm affects the province of Ávila, with rivers and streams overflowing and turning into torrents. In Piedralaves, the evacuation of 2,200 residents has been ordered due to the risk of the Horcajo dam overflowing. The Junta of Castilla y León has activated level 2 of the Civil Protection Plan due to the risk of flooding. In several municipalities, the rains have left rivers with murky and black water, due to the ash carried by the rains from areas affected by forest fires. Aemet maintains the red alert in southern Ávila, where accumulations of up to 120 liters per square meter in 12 hours are expected.
