La Dana wreaks havoc throughout Spain.

Floods, outages and floods have mobilized emergency services in several provincial capitals, besieged by the storm.

The depression isolated at high levels (DANA) has left around 9,000 lightning strikes and heavy rains in parts of the Community of Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León and Navarra during the first hours of this Wednesday, as reported by the State Agency of Meteorology (Aemet).

Among the most significant incidents is a lightning that has burned the roof of a church in Otones de Benjumea (Segovia), the fall of part of the roof of the Amazon company plant in Illescas (Toledo), floods in different buildings and homes, fall of trees and branches in different places.

Madrid

In Madrid, the Metro service has been interrupted and circulation has been cut in some tunnels, which has led to the intensification of the usual traffic jams in the Spanish capital.

Vinaroz

In Castellón, the Triador de Vinaroz ravine has overflowed as a result of the heavy rains in recent hours and has trapped some people in their vehicles, according to the mayor, Guillem Alsina, informed EFE.

Toledo

Like Toledo, which maintains four blocks of streets and highways after the strong storms of the last hours, it

has registered some floods, one of the most important in the stream of the Azucaica neighborhood

, but it has not had to regret personal injuries.

The mayor of the city, Milagros Tolón, the non-commissioned officer of the Fire Station, Jesús Álvarez and the Deputy Inspector of Police, Antonio Sánchez Palencia,

have shelled this Wednesday at a press conference the damage that DANA has caused

since this Tuesday at 9:00 p.m. until this wednesday.

This meteorological phenomenon has caused

the fall of five trees, two of them through gutters

;

eight interventions due to flooding in the houses and one in the bus station, where they have had to reinforce the cleaning staff to remove the water in the docks.

In addition, the schools have been reviewed with the beginning of the year and no major damage has been detected.

It has also affected towns in the province, such as Ocaña, which have suffered floods of varying degrees.

Fuenlabrada

In Fuenlabrada, the heavy rains have caused problems due to flooding in a dozen enclaves in the city,

while the M-506 remains cut off to traffic with the diversion of vehicles.

According to municipal sources, the most critical moment has been recorded between 5 and 6 hours, when the storm has intensified in the city.

The incidents, none of which were serious, have been registered on Avenida de la Hispanidad, at the height of Calle México, as well as in the underpasses on Calle Málaga, Teide and Móstoles.

The Lower Ebro

A torrential rain, which has discharged 77 liters of water per square meter in half an hour, has caused significant flooding in lowlands and

streets in the Tarragona regions of Montsià and Baix Ebre

, especially in the municipality of Alcanar, with no evidence of damage for now personal or missing.

The storm, which has accumulated

232 liters of water per square meter in the Alcanar station

, has turned some avenues into rivers that dragged vehicles, chairs, tables and urban furniture to the sea, as seen in several videos recorded by the Firefighters and by some neighbors and disseminated by social networks.

Navarre

The storms registered since last morning in Navarra

are among the most intense of which there is evidence in the Autonomous Community in recent decades

, according to what the territorial delegate of Aemet in Navarra, Peio Oria, has told Efe.

It is not, however, the strongest storms recorded in Navarra, since

"we are too close to the Tafalla event two years ago

, that of the Cidacos river, which was of much greater impact," explained the Aemet delegate.

"If we compare it with that event, it has not been so much, but in the whole of the southern half of Navarra, throughout the Ribera and some parts of the Middle Zone,

we can speak of the three rainiest days in recent decades" , has specified.

Valencia

The DANA from the west that affects the center of the Peninsula will not reach the Valencian Community as a meteorological structure, but it does put the province of Valencia and the south of Castellón on an orange warning due to strong storms caused by the instabilization of the atmosphere that This meteorological phenomenon entails, as explained by the territorial delegation of the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet).
