Damaged property, piled up cars, and devastated infrastructure were seen on the streets of La Alcudia, a municipality in the province of Valencia, eastern Spain on Wednesday, following the deadly sweep of storm DANA (isolated high-altitude depression) across the province.

Footage shows the aftermath of the disaster, with streets covered in mud and water, wrecked cars piled up on each other and tree branches scattered along the roads. The residents were seen clearing the aftermath, stacking their ruined furniture on the alley's walls, and pouring dirty water into drains.

Flash floods accompanied by torrential rains hit Spain's eastern and southern provinces, killing at least 95 people at the time of publication, according to local media. It could be the worst flood to have hit the country in its modern history, as the number of casualties surpassed the 87 individuals killed by a 1996 flood near the town of Biescas in the Pyrenees mountains.

According to weather reports, over a year's rain fell in just eight hours in Spain's Valencia, the region hit hardest by the storm. Local authorities warned residents to stay home and said that the number of fatalities could rise. Roads and railway lines were also cut off as an estimated 155,000 households remained without power late on Wednesday.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Wednesday met with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen who said that the bloc has activated the Copernicus satellite system, an earth monitoring programme, to help coordinate rescue teams. Meanwhile, European Council President Charles Michel said the EU 'is ready to provide its support' to Spain.
