I recorded 319mm of rain between 00:01 and 14:00 on Friday 28th September, this was a true “gota fria” or D.A.N.A. (Depresión Aislada en Niveles Altos).
Here is my video of the Almanzora River (Río Almanzora) at Arboleas taken on 28th September
And this is the Arroyo Aceituno in flood after the rain:
And some stills of the damage:
This is the AL7106 near to La Concepción.
Damage to a retaining wall in Los Carrascos. Fortunately no one was injured here.
The road washed away near El Palaces.
Rambla Guzmaina at Huércal-Overa.
This storm was the most devastating deluge of rainfall I have ever seen in my life. I shall never forget it!
