STORYLINE:
At the town of Sedaví in Valencia, firefighters and divers race against time to drain water and mud from a two-floor underground parking lot where some people are believed to be trapped.

Workers on site said there could be between 12 to 15 bodies at the lower floor of this municipal installation.

The parking lot was almost drained and accessible for rescue workers by early evening. By sunset, firefighters and military personnel left, but police and sanitary workers remained on site.

The devastating flash floods in eastern Spain this week that claimed over 200 lives and destroyed countless homes and livelihoods also seared a scar of terror in many survivors.

With no time to react, people were trapped for hours in vehicles, homes and businesses. Five days after Tuesday’s deluge, authorities have recovered 217 bodies and continue to search for an unknown number of missing people.
