Barcelona is facing a red alert warning for dangerous heavy rains with
00:03
part of the city including the airport beginning to flood fatalities from
00:07
Spain's worst flash floods in modern history rose to 217.
00:13
Almost all of them in the Valencia region and hundreds are unfortunately
00:17
still missing. The intense rain overwhelmed river banks receiving more rain
00:22
in eight hours than in the previous 20 months.
00:27
Many victims were trapped in low lying areas and underground garages due
00:32
to the lack of help.
00:33
Protesters hurled mud at Spain's King,
00:35
Queen and Prime Minister after the floods,
00:37
King Felipe Queen Leticia and Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez were met with
00:41
anger in Papua, a town badly hit by devastating floods in
00:44
Valencia. So footage showed angry crowds lining the streets,
00:48
throwing objects and booing as a three toured the town while security
00:53
officials used their hands and umbrellas to shield them.
00:57
This might have something to do with Valencia's President Carlos Mason abolishing
01:02
the Valencia emergency unit last year.
01:05
So it's like the resources that they could have had for this
01:12
And then again, I don't blame the Spaniards,
01:14
right. Yeah, it's like,
01:16
hey, you're going to come to my city.
01:17
Take your pictures. Wave.
01:18
No and act like you care and did something about it when
01:22
you did nothing. It's all like a photo op II,
01:25
I see how they see things.
01:29
but scientists suggest human climate change may be linked to increased rainfall
01:32
and extreme weather patterns.
01:34
There are also fear the disease spread due to the widespread flooding
01:37
That's crazy. I mean,
01:39
again, these government people,
01:41
man, how are you going to come over here and do
01:42
your little world tour and pretend everything's ok.
01:46
Right. It's like the guy from,
01:47
was it Texas? Everyone,
01:49
everything was frozen and everything in Texas was going crazy.
01:53
Homes didn't go on vacation or something.
01:58
bro, this is the time when your people need you the
01:59
most. Exactly. And that's what you're there for.
02:02
You're not there for it to act pretty.
02:05
I'm sorry, but the monarchy,
02:07
come on now. It's fricking 2024 going on 25.
