Spain floods death toll hits 205 as maps, satellite images reveal Valencia impact and residents blast response

Chiva, Spain — The death toll from historic flash floods in Spain climbed to at least 205 people Friday, with many more believed to be missing, as the initial shock gave way to anger, frustration and a wave of solidarity. Spanish emergency authorities said 202 of the victims were in the Valencia region alone, and officials warned that more rains were expected in the coming days.

The damage from the storm Tuesday and Wednesday recalled the aftermath of a tsunami, with survivors left to pick up the pieces as they mourn loved ones lost in Spain's deadliest natural disaster in living memory. 

Many streets were still blocked by piled-up vehicles and debris, in some cases trapping residents in their homes.
