Transcript of More flooding hits Spain as at least 217 people confirmed dead | BBC News

Extremely heavy rain is causing yet further flooding in Spain. Now, parts of Barcelona are underwater less than a week after the devastation in Valencia, which has killed at least 200 people. In Barcelona, water has entered parts of the main airport, and some motorways are flooded. The area shown here is on red alert for torrential rain. For the south, down the Coast, rescue workers in Valencia are continuing to comb through underground car parks, searching for missing people. Our Europe correspondent, nick Beake, reports from Valencia.

The official search for bodies goes on all along the flood ravaged ravines. But many of the families of Spain's missing have given up on the authorities and are doing the work themselves. This new Instagram page, part tribute, part plea for help to find their loved ones. Among them, brothers Yvan, on the left, and Ruben, just three years old. We went to the boys' town and found the family home. What's left of it? The brother's bedroom door, one of the few things still standing.

Every one of the communities devastated by these floods has its own particular dreadful story. What happened here is the sheer power of the water picked up trucks. One of them came crashing down towards the family home. It knocked down a wall. The lights went out. The water came in, sweeping away the two boys and their dad.

Jonathan, their next door neighbor, told us what happened next. The water destroyed everything in its path.

The dad told me that he'd managed to take his boys in his arms, but then realized they had gone. He said the power of the water was incredible.

Oh, my God, they shouted. When the water flooded Valencia's largest shopping center last week. It had been full of families. Many of them escaped, but fears have grown that some may have been trapped in the underground car park. Dozens of empty cars have been retrieved, but others have not yet been reached. When we asked one police officer if he knew whether anyone had died here, he wouldn't tell us. Many Spaniards are furious at a lack of information. Today, in the second city, Barcelona, a new deluge filled the streets, canceling trains and planes, bringing more misery. Last week's devastating floodwaters have long receded, but they've exposed anger and a sense of abandonment, and that feeling is not going away. Nick Beke, BBC News, Valencia.
