to venture rains of the night shake at the devastating floods some residents were blocked from entering the town after a river burst its banks. everything has been destroyed just destroyed destroyed destroyed really it's really bad what has happened i just can't believe it. do you know what happened to your family and i don't know i think they were able to rescue themselves think on. many roads and bridges are impassable the floods also cut off electricity and water supplies hundreds of rescuers including the spanish military are now trying to help the affected communities and clean up the mess the raging waters left behind. well low that was the situation on the ground a few hours ago let's get the latest now from when the urquhart she's a correspondent for spectrum f.m. radio on the island more york or wendy how are things now where you are what's the

extent of the damage on the island at the moment. well we know that as you said ten people are dead and two are still three are still missing including. us and the damage is just catastrophic if you think of that for me highway muddy water go straight through the street and that's like one story of a house completely engulfed with water and mud so that's pretty hard to cope with for anyone and i think that they majesty said this is their a doing what they can to help people at least two hundred people have had to evacuated from their homes they spent the night in a makeshift temporary accommodation and actually rafa nadal has announced that he has a sports center that is available to anyone who is in need of accommodation affected by the floods so everyone is sort of together it's a very very close community here in new yorker and everyone who's helping to do

whatever they can everybody pitching in there in this moment of need also the island's most famous a former resident i refound i don't know the flooding appears to have been concentrated when he and one section of new york out why was that particular area so badly affected. well i think that's something that the investigation well let this thing done now where they are because i mean senator as a. whole only the second pair were christo felonies and. you know that's a lot of places that have a big cleanup to do and questions are being asked about whether it was there was no notice given or anything that was not their thing for these people to do but to run and get out of the way towards it one of the biggest questions will be what can they learn from this and what can be done to stop this ever happening again and i've got twenty seconds left so wendy i mean why was the where were the authorities

so badly prepared i mean that this must have happened before though. well not everything and i mean i've been here for three years it's never happened since i've been here but really bad floods have not happened since the eighty's here and so i think people just get a little bit lackadaisical about what's happening or you know we had more rain this year than in many many years before and so i think the ground was already loosened by that and this just made it even worse now ok when your card we wish you and the residents of majorca all the best thank you for talking to us and they're bringing us an update of the situation there in cairo. we're going up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. in the u.s. low lying areas along florida's western panhandle are under water at this hour as hurricane michael comes ashore authorities have urged almost four hundred thousand people to evacuate the category four hurricane is the most powerful storm on record
