Valencia floods: 'There is just mud everywhere'
The Spanish Civil Guard is continuing its search operation in Valencia and the surrounding area, looking for those still missing.
Video shared on social media shows a man perching on the edge of a helicopter, as it flies over an area destroyed by floodwater.

We’re hearing more now from locals in eastern Spain, who are attempting to return to normality as the clean-up operation continues.
“We have to get up in any way we can,” Rafael Lopez, a resident of Picanya, says.
“Right now I'm going to work by foot as there's no other way to get there, I need to walk 5km to get to work. It's a disaster, a disaster, everywhere."
He adds: "We haven't been through the worst part yet. Nothing can come through, no food, nothing. The only thing that comes are the rescue trucks that can maybe bring a bit of food, but you need to walk 15 to 20 km to buy some bread."

It's a public holiday in Spain today - All Saints' Day - and the traffic authority is asking the country not to travel to Valencia.
For essential travel, the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) asks people to check the weather and the roads before getting in a car, saying "the Dana will continue to complicate travel".

The mayor of Paiporta, on the outskirts of Valencia, Maribel Albalat, has said that the town was ill-prepared in terms of planning, with many ground floor homes.
Six residents of an elderly care home died when the floodwater washed into the building while they were still on the ground floor.
Albalat also suggests there was an element of complacency.
“In Paiporta, we don’t tend to have floods and people aren’t afraid,” she says.
Garages were a particular death trap, she adds.
"When it rains people normally go down to their garages to get their cars out in case their garage is flooded."
That appears to have been the case in the neighbourhood of La Torre, where the bodies of seven people were recovered from the garage of a residential building.
Spanish rescuers have opened a temporary morgue in a convention centre on the outskirts of the city, according to Reuters news agency.
As we've been reporting, more than 200 people have been confirmed dead, with rescue efforts ongoing.
The council for Valencia - one of the worst affected areas of the flooding - says on X that its services "continue to work intensively" this morning to support recovery efforts.
It says this involves "cleaning tasks, clearing debris, removing bulky objects and distributing food and drinking water."

Warnings have been issued to residents to avoid using their cars, and one Valencia local tells Reuters about a lucky escape he made from the floodwater.
“We were driving home and at some point we couldn’t keep going anymore,” Miguel Espi recalls. “That’s when the banks of the river overflowed, it pushed us back.”
The 58-year-old explains how he has now returned to the scene to try to find his car, and describes the night of the flooding as being “like a mousetrap”.
“There was water in front of us and we couldn't go from there, under the bridge, and we knew that water was coming from behind us too, because the river was just there. So when it overflowed and water got to our feet, we started running,” he says.

Torrential rain has been falling over recent hours in the southern Andalucian region of Huelva in south-west Spain.
The city of Cartaya has already seen more than 127mm since midnight. That’s around two months' worth in just 10 hours. A red warning in this region is in force until 14:59 this afternoon.
Further east, orange rainfall warnings also cover parts of northern Valencia, southern Catalonia and all the Balearic Islands, where thunderstorms are expected to accompany the further downpours that slowly ease into tomorrow.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says Spain will do whatever it takes to help people recover from the flash floods.
Following a visit to Spain's weather agency, and the civil emergencies agency, the PM praises the "boundless dedication of Spanish society".
"I repeat, whatever help is needed, however long it takes," he says on X.
Earlier, he said: "The Dana [weather system] has not ended, there are provinces with orange and red warnings. Let us take extreme precautions and always be attentive to the information given to us by the authorities."
The number of deaths after flooding in the Valencian Community has risen to 202, according to the Interior Ministry's Integrated Operational Coordination Centre (CECOPI).
"The process of collecting and identifying victims continues," it says in a post on X.
It brings the death toll in Spain to at least 205. Two other people died in the Castilla La Mancha region, and another in Andalusia.

Satellite images captured yesterday show the significant impact of the historic flooding in Valencia, Spain.
One before-and-after captured by Maxar, a US-based space technology company, shows streets and fields in the town of Paiporta covered in brown mud and a bridge destroyed by the flooded river.
Other images show cars and other vehicles scattered across the flooded areas in Valencia province.
Many roads and highways also appear obstructed or impassable.

Reporting from Valencia
At least 155 people have been killed in the Valencia region following record-breaking rainfall
So many properties in this area have been flooded, and many of the owners are trying to clear up.
I've just been inside one house, and there is mud everywhere. But locals are here helping to try and clear out the muddy water.
It's a similar picture all along this street, with manhole covers up so that they can direct the water down into the drains.
Meanwhile, I can see household items like washing machines covered in mud sitting on the pavement.
Scenes like this will be being replicated across the region.
Locals are helping each other to clean up damaged homes
The UK's foreign office still has a warning in place regarding travel to Spain, detailing that "severe weather and flooding is affecting many areas of southern and eastern Spain, particularly the Valencia region and Castilla La Mancha".
It advises travellers to check Spain's meteorological office for the latest weather warnings and to follow the instructions of local authorities.
Enaire, external, the air navigation manager in Spain, has said this morning that there are adverse weather conditions in Palma de Mallorca which is affecting arrivals.
They ask people to check their flight status with their airline.
The recent lists of arrivals at Valencia, Seville and Malaga airports show that the majority landed on time this morning.
Earlier we reported on the red alert that had been issued by the Spanish meteorological agency along the coastline of Huelva.
That alert has now been extended until 14:59 local time.
As a reminder, the warning details that rainfall is estimated to continue "with great intensity".
Other areas, including the Balearic Islands, remain subject to an orange warning.
If you're just tuning in with us now, here's a quick summary of the key headlines since this morning.

Earlier we posted photos of Alfafar, a Valencian town where cars are piled up on streets and residents work to piece their lives back together.
The town was hit with some of the worst consequences of the flooding, El País' Luis Enrique Velasco writes, despite experiencing no rain itself.
It's the same for neighbouring town Sedaví, where a resident tells Velasco he "felt at ease because it was just windy, with no signs of rain" by 19:00 on Wednesday.
Less than thirty minutes later, both Sedaví and Alfafar were flooded by an avalanche of muddy water.
We reported earlier on the emotional reaction of the mayor of Chiva in eastern Spain, who called for more support for her citizens on a Spanish radio show.
Now, according to Spanish news agency Efe, the Mayor Amparo Fort says she is unclear on how many deaths there might have been in her region.
“We have counted ten deaths, but we may reach a hundred due to the hundreds of cars that have crashed throughout the municipality, and they surely have people inside,” Fort reportedly told Efe.
A number of football clubs have posted tributes on X to José Castillejo - who is reported to have died as a result of the flooding.
Valencia CF writes that Castillejo had been part of the Academia VCF "until youth stage" as well as playing in other teams in Valencia, while Real Zaragoza, along with a number of other clubs, sends its "deepest condolences" and offers support for his family and friends.
CD Eldense also sends condolences to friends and family of Castillejo who, they add, was a former "blue-and-red" player in 2015/16.

The BBC's Climate Question podcast has looked at ways new technology can help communities in the aftermath of flooding.
In Brazil, when the city of Porto Alegre was devastated earlier this year, locals used a live digital map to plot critical information, directing stranded citizens to vital resources.
In South Africa, local people have been trained to fly drones with AI software over the township of Alexandra. The drones map new dwellings and infrastructure, and monitor growth of the huge informal settlement in real-time.
The up-to-date information can be used by the emergency services when floods hit - a frequent occurrence as much of Alexandra is in a river bed.

Spain's Minister of Defence, Margarita Robles, says another 500 military personnel have joined the search and clean-up operation in Valencia today.
They join the 1,205 workers already deployed to the rescue mission, Robles tells Spain's state news channel RTVE this morning.
The minister promises "as many as necessary" will help in the areas that need them.
"Everything that can be done is being done and will continue to be done," Robles says.
