“Spain will legalise about 300,000 undocumented immigrants per year over the next three years as it seeks to expand its labour force in the face of an ageing population, Migration Minister Elma Saiz told reporters.”

“’Spain has to opt between being an open, prosperous country or being a closed and poor one, and we have chosen the former,’ Saiz said.”

"Spain's economy is the fastest-growing in the EU."

More than 200 people were confirmed to have died after heavy rains last week caused waterways to overflow, creating flash floods that surged through suburbs south of the city of Valencia, sweeping away cars and bridges, and flooding properties and underground car parks.

I made some shelves for the motorhome :) - videos.trom.tf/w/1iJnjg2QKTDvZ…

It may sound simple but it was a bit tricky. This is our main closet. Really big for us!

How slow warnings, poor defences left #Spain exposed to deadly floods

I always find it particularly bitter when corrupt politicians are so lazy that they don't even care about human lives and prefer to blame others after the disaster in order to keep their lucrative office for which they are obviously unsuitable.

Your good news for the day. HUMANITY!
Thousands of volunteers from in and around the City of Valencia that were not as badly hit, headed into the affected areas today to help!

Since most roads and railways are blocked they came mostly on foot with their brooms, shovels, and packs of supplies.

Humanity is always at its best when its looking out for one another!!

I spent this week in southern Spain, where both to the east and south massieve floods caused incomprehensable loss of life and livelihood. It has been disconcerting how life just goes on, even at this close proximity, and how little one hears about this (inter)national crisis as a visitor.

This is not a critique of #Spain specifically, we had a similar reaction in northern NL to the recent floods in southern NL, BE and DE.

1. If you think #valencia is out of the woods, think again. The cut-off low that pulls humid air from over the meditteranean across the mountains north of Valencia is not done yet. In the coming 2 days the @kachelmannwetter multimodel ensemble predicts up to 177 mm of extra rain in the region of #castellon .

Not only #Spain but the entire #EU will have to have a difficult conversation on how we'll prepare us for #weather #disaster amplified by #ClimateChange

A thread.


Ich frage mich, ob am Straßenrand geparkte Autos solche #Fluten wie in #Spanien nicht noch schlimmer machen, weil sie wie Rammböcke durch die Straßen gespült werden und die Zerstörungen noch ausweiten.

Spain Flooding Kills 51!

“A year's worth of rain in 8 hours!"

At least 51 people are known to have died after torrential rain caused devastating flash floods in south-eastern Spain.

In the town of Chiva near Valencia more than a year's worth of rain fell in just eight hours and local officials say it is "impossible" to put a final figure on the number of people who have perished.

Jeff Berardelli posted an explanation for Tuesday's torrential rain in Spain. A blocking kept the low in place and dump all the water in one place.
nitter.poast.org/WeatherProf/s…

"Once again Europe has found itself a victim of severe blocking, resulting in 13” of rain in just 4 hours with devastating flooding!
Below you can see the storm cut off from steering stuck in between blocking in all directions."

13 inches in 4 hours = 355mm of rain...


Devastating scenes of piled-up cars in #Valencia, #Spain today after yesterday’s historic flooding. A year’s worth of rain fell in a few hours with a peak of 500mm.
