Drone footage shows extent of damage after torrential rain in Spain

Drone footage on Tuesday showed the extent of the damage caused by torrential rain in the town of Aldea del Fresno in the Madrid region. 

At least three people died and three were missing as record rainfall caused heavy flooding in central Spain, shutting roads, subway lines, and high-speed train connections, authorities said on Monday.

Several roads in the Madrid region were closed as half a dozen bridges were torn down by water overflowing the riverbanks.

The sudden downpour on Sunday and early Monday transformed streets into rivers of mud that swept away cars and trash bins in Madrid, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia, and Valencia regions. Hail also fell in many areas.
