Several people have been reported missing after flash floods struck Spain, sweeping cars through the streets.<\/p>\n

Shocking images and videos have emerged from eastern and southern parts of Spain, showing heavy rainfall turning once-busy roads into muddy rivers.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Flooding caused havoc, running from the provinces of Malaga in the south to Valencia in the east.<\/p>\n

Videos shared by Spanish broadcasters showed floodwater rising into the lower levels of homes and even carrying cars through the street.<\/p>\n

A high-speed train with almost 300 people on board was derailed near Malaga, but authorities said no one was hurt.<\/p>\n

Rail lines elsewhere were also disrupted.<\/p>\n

The national government office for the Castilla La Mancha region told radio channel Cadena Ser that six people in the region were missing.<\/p>\n

One truck driver was missing in L\u2019Alcudia, Valencia, according to Spanish news agency EFE.<\/p>\n

Also in Valencia, the mayor of Utiel, Ricardo Gabaldon, told RTVE that several people were trapped in their homes.<\/p>\n

In Letur, near the Sierra de Segura, thirty people were trapped after the river running through the town burst its banks.<\/p>\n

In some places, rescue services used helicopters to lift people from houses and cars to safety.<\/p>\n

Storms are forecast to continue through the week until Thursday, according to the country\u2019s weather service.<\/p>\n

Spain has experienced similar autumn storms in recent years.<\/p>\n

Scientists have warned that increased episodes of extreme weather, like flash floods, or the wildfires seen elsewhere in Europe in the summer, are likely linked to human-driven climate change.<\/p>\n
