MADRID: Spain’s government will hold an emergency meeting on Friday to deal with the impact of a storm that has caused heavy rains, powerful winds and huge waves, and killed at least 13 people.
Catalan authorities confirmed the two latest deaths on Thursday evening. A man was swept out to sea while fishing in the coastal town of Ametlla de Mar and another was found dead in his car inland in Cabaces, where there has been flooding. Four people are still missing. The national weather authority said the storm had begun to recede but more than 100 roads remained closed and tens of thousands of students were kept out of school.
The storm tightened its grip on parts of the peninsula on Sunday, unleashing winds of up to 144kph and waves up to 13.5m high that slammed into seafront shops, wiping out beaches and boardwalks.Hundreds of thousands were left without power as the storm covered roads in snow, flooded farmlands and poured saltwater into the Ebro delta in northeastern Spain, swallowing thousands of hectares of rice paddies.
