A bout of rattling thunderstorms and torrential rain pushed over the Canary Islands in Spain due to a low pressure system spinning to the west of the islands.
Rainfall averaged 2 to 4 inches (50 to 100 mm) across the islands, most of which fell within a six-hour time frame on Sunday according to AccuWeather.com International Meteorologist Eric Leister. According to local reports, as many as five people died during the flooding. One woman reportedly died after being trapped under a parked car, unable to escape as flood waters rushed through local streets.
Cars were swallowed by rushing floodwaters that diced through streets in the Canary Islands, Spain, over the weekend.
