Santa María Gorge overflows and Cecopi does not rule out new evictions in Ávila

The City Council of La Adrada, in Ávila, reported the overflow of the Garganta de Santa María due to heavy rains from storms Bruna and Charles. The Civil Protection Operations Coordination Center (Cecopi) does not rule out new evacuations in the area. The overflow affected the M-501 road, and residents have been asked to avoid the area due to the danger of water accumulation. Additionally, there is a risk of overflow at the El Horcajo dam in Piedralaves, which has led to the evacuation of its population. The situation is complicated by heavy rainfall and saturated ground, with warnings of strong gusts of wind and water accumulation. The Junta de Castilla y León has suspended classes in 32 municipalities of Ávila and has minimized activity in health centers, advising against using vehicles.
