Severe flooding in Malaga following the passage of Storm Adam
Published
The eastern area of Malaga, specifically the El Palo neighborhood, has suffered serious damage due to the intense rainfall recorded in the last few hours. The storm, named Adam, has dumped an unusually high amount of rain in a very short period, causing chaos in the streets and affecting numerous homes in the area.
According to meteorological reports, nearly 120 millimeters of water accumulated in just one hour. This amount of rain exceeded the capacity of the drainage systems, which led to flooding in private homes and severely hindered the movement of vehicles and pedestrians along the neighborhood's main roads.
One of the most concerning incidents was the partial collapse of the roof of a local health center. Fortunately, authorities have not reported any serious injuries, but the building had to be evacuated for safety reasons while emergency teams assess the structural damage caused by the accumulation of water.
Emergency services and firefighters continue to work in the area to pump water out of the affected houses and clear the debris accumulated in the streets. Meanwhile, local authorities are asking citizens to exercise extreme caution and avoid unnecessary travel until the weather situation stabilizes completely.
