5:05 pm
a few hours marooned vehicles. littering moved to ways and piled up in the streets, showed the strength of what was spain's was not true dissolved in a century efforts to clean up mountain debris from the storm underway. residents and questioning why they would not sufficiently wound up the incoming flood tool to a i don't really. so can you have anything i haven't seen the police know the man nor anyone else? no one has come here to show that face. this is unexpected because the truth be told, this is all unprecedented the robber. they raced the alarm when the water was already here. when they told me the flood was coming, it was already too late. down the hill, they were telling me on the phone that the water was coming and i said to myself,
5:06 pm
but it isn't raining. and when i looked out, there was already a meter of water here and i got overwhelmed. i couldn't do anything. i said, i'm going downstairs to move the car and i went downstairs and the water was already like this at the door. spain's prime minister petro sanchez, visited valencia where he will and residents that the situation is still on such and that uh, i would like to tell the people who live in the province of valencia and also in custody young. that the storm is continuing. so please stay at home, do not go out. if you can stay at home and listen to all the warnings from the emergency service, as i say, they don't have to be with american fia. the locals are now advised to hunker down and wait for the next stage, and most is an unprecedented natural catastrophe. for more now, i'm joined by honda cloak. she's
5:07 pm
a professor of hydrology at the university of reading. in the u. k. professor, it's good to have you with this. i'd like to get your professional opinion. do you think that the people in spain did they have adequate warning about this precipitation in the flooding, or do you suspect that people did not take that warning? serious? i mean, that's an excellent question because so very many people have died. so we can see that something has gone wrong here. suddenly that were full of costs out of heavy rainfall before this happened. and i could see that sitting and reading but something was going to happen in this region on. yeah, nice morning. so i was wondering, did not reach those people on the ground. we can hear people talking bad, but they didn't receive the warning in time. and then was already voted to the and if we already knew the rain was going to full, then definitely something has gone wrong. and it sounds like this was a perfect storm. it sounds like you had people who maybe were not aware of what was
5:08 pm
about to happen literally driving in to the flood waters. is there anything that could have been done to save them or to protect? i mean, this does terrifying it and it is one of the worst things that you can do in a sub situation is destroyed in flood water. and some of these people were cleaning up to where at the risk, right? some of them may not have the least it might happen. it's very difficult to imagine an unprecedented flood the sweeps vehicles on, you know, off the road in terms of upside down. that's a very difficult if it's never happened to you just want to take that seriously. but there's definitely more that we need to do to prepare for this kind of flooding in the future. and i think the old doherty's will need to ask themselves some very clear questions about how they can do this better in what can we do? i mean, i understand that, you know, people. so people are saying that they received in the span of 4 to 8 hours as much rain as in an entire year. i mean,
5:09 pm
is that something that we should be preparing to, to see on a more regular basis, moving forward from big trucks like this have what has happened? that doesn't happen very often, which is why we don't remember them. and but we know that this area is not risk of these big flash floods, but this was an awful lot of rain. and it certainly we can see those fingerprints of climate change on these types of rainfall events and these floods. so we must be preparing for these types of events back to the, the 2nd stream, weather condition, know what is known as a code drop triggered the storms. and as you say, these things have happened before. how do we know that climate change is influencing the intensity of what we're seeing right now? the physics told us that as we wore my atmosphere and wilma options, and that means more water can get, drill will not into the storm clouds,
5:10 pm
which means more heavy rain will fall out so that a storm that might have happened anyway. we'll have heavier, rain associated with them, and we've seen a number of them this year as well across the world. but it looks like unprecedented rangel advisor, a honda clue, professor hydrology at the university of writing in the u. k. we appreciate your time in your analysis and insights tonight. thank you. thank you. what was less than a week before americans had to the polls to elect a new president, both democrat and republican campaigns are in damage control mode, racist remarks. and this week's trump rally in new york caused an uproar, especially a comedian labeling puerto rico as an island of trash. president joe biden's responding gaff calling trump supporters. garbage caused even more trouble that prompted republican nominee. donald trump taking to the campaign trail in wisconsin
