Spain: Greek residents of Valencia shock with their descriptions – “They take bodies one after another”

The terror in its flooded and filled tons of mud lived many Greeks who live and work there. “A total disaster, biblical destruction”, they say, describing the creepy moments they experienced. They are the people who live in the small Greek community of Valencia, who . “The sirens were ringing from the phones not to leave the house so we were booked home, a message came in all over Valencia. From 11 to 6 the alarm was ringing”. As the businessman Panos Cigarettea tells MEGA, residents in Valencia are anxious for their own people. Missing many and communications impossible. “My friends Spaniards are missing, we’re looking for them the police are all blocked, there’s not much drinking water, they’ve cut water in the southern suburbs, there’s no internet, electricity”. “Things are very tragic. Too many people have been lost. Almost all rivers have flooded. Our relatives, our friends are trapped, and we are living this agony and we see if we can contact them,” says Dimitris Vamvacas. Central road networks became torrents drifting through people and cars. REUTERS/Eva Manez “I saw with my own eyes a small portion of the disaster, dozens of cars in the water, imagine if I told you in Attica that Attica, Athens – Thessaloniki, Athens – Corinth became rivers and drove freight cars. Surely there will be several sadly missing,” says Peter Orfanidis. ‘On the highway Desiya can be how many thousands of cars and trucks and buses trapped, water caught in them, they have cut the city we cannot go to that side,” adds Mr. Cigarette. The water has reached a height of 2 meters. “ I am from Thessaly, last year we had what happened in Trikala and our villages is nothing compared to what happened in Valencia, it is a hurricane. ” Hundreds of people trapped in homes, cars, shopping centers, surprised by the floods caused by torrential rains. “Only one friend of ours tried to send us a message that he is well but is on the roof of the house on the roof, one of our aunts is in a village, we can’t communicate at all,” Dimitris Vamvacas says. REUTERS/Eva Manez “Every half hour they pull bodies” Panos Cigarettes spoke “lively” to MEGA, saying: “In the northern suburbs trees fell and there were floods but the serious took place in the southern suburbs. There’s police, fire department, and every half hour they pull bodies. They found people stuck on the ceiling inside the malls. 112 told us there would be heavy weather, but what happened in Valencia is something I have never lived in all over Europe. It doesn’t explain what happened in Valencia. In Valencia it rains 2-3 times a year. We had 28 degrees and everyone was swimming the day before. There was nothing to be done with it, no one could predict it. There’s no water and electricity in the south. A friend of mine lost his two-year-old child. From 8 to 12 at night the sirens were ringing”. And after the deadly downpour, everyone is worried about what rescue crews will encounter when they manage to reach all flooded homes and shops.
