Catalonia storms cause flooding, injuries, and hundreds of evacuations

Torrential rains and severe storms have struck the southern coast of Catalonia, particularly affecting the Tarragona and Baix Penedès regions. The extreme weather event has resulted in at least seven injuries, including one 17-year-old girl in critical condition following a wall collapse at the Port of Roda de Berà.

Inundations have caused widespread disruption, leading to the evacuation of approximately 400 people. Significant numbers of tourists and residents were displaced from campsites, including the Arc de Berà, where about 300 people were moved to a municipal sports center.

Infrastructure has been heavily impacted. The N-340 highway faced closures, and flooding at the Sant Vicenç de Calders station disrupted multiple Rodalies rail lines. Rainfall intensity was extreme, with some areas recording over 200 liters per square meter, and Roda de Berà reaching up to 275 liters. Emergency services, including the Bombers, responded to hundreds of calls and performed numerous rescues of individuals trapped in vehicles.
