Since early in the morning the cell phones of some regions of the province of Barcelona alerted their residents. Civil Protection has put on alert the regions of Vallès Occidental, Baix Llobregat, Barcelonès and Garraf and the alarm also sounded in the capital of Barcelona just an hour ago. The effects of heavy rains are already visible: flooding on some roads, total suspension of Rodalies service and flights diverted from El Prat Airport.
Avoid unnecessary travel and stay away from streams and ravines with the most immediate precautions requested by Civil Protection to citizens. The rains could accumulate up to 180 liters per square meter on the coast of Barcelona.
In social networks can already be seen flooded streets in municipalities such as Sitges, Viladecans, Castelldefels or Martorell. Floods in part of the Prat have also forced the cancellation of about twenty flights.
The red warning alerted by the State Meteorological Agency for torrential rains will extend at least until 14:00 this noon. From this afternoon, the effects of this DANA that has already devastated Valencia could begin to subside.
