Another post from N332. Frightening to think about how many people have been lost in there.

BONAIRE Shopping Centre PARKING https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...1/16/1f17f.png (Aldaia - Valencia)
This is currently the most critical point in the city as it is a 60,000 square metre complex, with around 2,800 parking spaces in a single-storey basement, and with a height of four metres.
It is currently completely flooded and unfortunately numerous fatalities are expected to be found inside.
Firefighters have been working for 2 days/24 hours to remove the water from its interior.
Our thoughts with the families

Volunteers appear to be defying the ban to return to the areas. Whilst I understand why they are doing this I have read somewhere (sorry cannot find it now) that the ban was partly to protect them from the consequences of more rain today. If there are further difficulties they could well be causing a delay to the operation rather than being helpful.

Oh no no.... terrible violence has erupted
. They are throwing stones at the king and politics calling them murderers. Police intervening. Looks like the King is trapped in the scrum. Watch the live TV

It is in Paiporta. Never seen anything like it. Not enough police. . Sanchez is there and the queen. Looks like sticks are hitting them. This looks terrible.

Re: Rain yesterday
 
The crowd are now out of control...no security. It looks like Sanchez and the Queen are there but they can't get them out as only some local police.

A couple of the young men threw water bottle, clearly see who they are because the television cameramen caught them on camera.

It is evident that people are really desperate. They have clearly reached beyond boiling point and this has exploded into a kind of animal fury.

La sexta. They are showing a crowd shouting asesinós y hija de puta.
Now security have arrived and they appear to be surrounding the cars with horses as they try to get everyone out
