The strongest storm in recent years hit the Spanish port city of Melilla, located on the Mediterranean coast of Africa, on April 5.
The rains threatened several areas of the city, but the worst situation was in the center, where many streets were flooded and turned into rivers.
The total amount of precipitation was about 42 liters per square meter.
There were floods all over the city.
Sea and air communications between Melilla and the peninsula were also cut off.
Rescue services have been working hard to help the movement of vehicles trapped in the water.
Some cars even floated due to the large amount of water that had accumulated on the streets.
Fortunately, there were no injuries, although the storm caused significant property damage.
The historical record for the amount of rainfall in Melilla was recorded in 1985, when about 180 liters per square meter fell.
