In the floods and storm of October 29, seven more people died in the neighboring region of Castilla La Mancha and one in Andalusia.
Several regions of Spain, including the Valencian Community, were under the influence of an “isolated depression at high levels”, a meteorological phenomenon known as DANA (DINA in Portuguese), which caused torrential rain, flooding and extensive damage.
In addition to the fatalities, the storm caused damage to homes, supply infrastructure, communications and transport.
