What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Floodwaters have since isolated several towns along the Mediterranean coast, while rivers have burst their banks and streets have turned into torrents, leaving scenes reminiscent of the catastrophic flooding that killed more than 230 people in the Valencia region two years ago.
On Monday morning, 800,000 residents were under shelter-in-place orders, but that was reduced to 87,000 in eight municipalities by late afternoon.
