The body of Carolina Casado, who disappeared last Wednesday after falling into the Turvilla River while walking her dogs, was found one kilometer from the spot where she was last seen. This discovery occurs amidst an ongoing emergency situation across Andalusia.
Storm Leonardo has forced the evacuation of more than 11,000 people in the region, leaving areas isolated and damaging numerous infrastructures. The Guadalquivir River overflowed at several points in the province of Córdoba, exceeding 5.5 meters of flow, more than double the red alert level.
“"This is not over. We still have episodes of rain and it does not seem to stop until Wednesday. The key is what kind of rain we will have. If it is very intense, it will be very worrying."
The President of the Junta de Andalucía stressed that the priority is “saving lives,” although preliminary calculations by the Andalusian Government estimate road damage exceeding 500 million euros. Maximum concern remains around Jerez and the Grazalema mountain range.
The State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) has issued a new warning ahead of Storm Marta's arrival today across the Iberian Peninsula. Heavy rains are expected in the south, increasing the risk of flooding, along with a sea storm featuring waves up to eight meters in the Balearic Islands and Galicia.
In Catalonia, Storm Marta will primarily bring wind. The Servei Meteorològic de Catalunya has activated yellow warnings for gusts exceeding 70 kilometers per hour in a dozen regions, including Barcelona, urging Civil Protection to take extreme precautions.
