Granollers floods again Catalonia assesses damage

Oct 5

RTVE reports a new October 5 torrential-rain episode in Granollers that trapped drivers and disrupted trains and buses. More than 300 litres per square metre is the cumulative amount since Saturday, not a one-day total. Anna Lladó's complete package also describes flooded homes and parking in Sant Cugat, health facilities and around 100 affected schools, and municipalities cleaning up the weekend's damage. The Catalan president announces a €75 million aid package, and the report mentions 600 hotel evacuations in Malgrat de Mar and continuing yellow warnings. The headline recap reports two deaths and one missing person for the weekend episode; it does not attribute all casualties or all damage to Monday's storm.

A new torrential-rain episode floods Granollers on October 5, trapping drivers and disrupting transport. RTVE reports cumulative rainfall of more than 300 litres per square metre since Saturday and broader Catalan damage assessments and cleanup, including flooded homes, health facilities, schools and a hotel evacuation. The aid announcement is a response within the complete report, while its weekend casualties and cumulative damage are not all assigned to Monday. Mónica López explains the Monday storm as the latest rotating, warm-sea-driven convective system, with a tropical appearance rather than a confirmed named medicane.
