Weather of Arabia - Severe flooding inundated areas of northern Spain, swallowing cars, inundating homes and roads, and killing at least one person on Friday as torrential rains from Storm Barra caused rivers to overflow their banks.

 

In the regional capital, Pamplona, residents were forced to kayak, which roamed the streets, while rooftops were flooded in the center of the town of Villava, outside the city.

 

The regional government has declared a Level 2 emergency due to the floods, which were mainly caused by overflowing rivers.

 

After a cold snap brought temperatures down across Spain, Storm Barra unleashed torrential rains that melted ice and snow on the higher elevations, causing rivers to rise rapidly.
