These before and after Overviews of Valencia, Spain show the extent of flood damage throughout the region, where more than 200 people have died in one of the worst natural disasters in the nation’s history. Torrential downpours earlier this week caused flash flooding that turned streets into rivers, swept away vehicles and infrastructure, and coated neighborhoods with a thick layer of mud. Some areas received a year’s worth of rain in just a few hours. Created by @dailyoverview
