CNN —The deadly flooding that rocked Spain this week following intense, historic rainfall is so expansive and severe the area looked like an inland sea from space. Parts of the area now look like an extension of the Balearic Sea after unprecedented rainfall turned what should be dry ground into a vast expanse of water, satellite imagery captured on October 30 shows. Satellite imagery taken on October 8 and October 30 show the before and after of this week's flooding in east-central coastal Spain. Cars are piled in the street with other debris on October 30, 2024, after flash flooding rocked the Sedaví area of Valencia, Spain. Rapid analysis is done in the immediate aftermath of extreme weather events by analyzing data and climate models to establish what role climate change played.
