Heavy rains lash Spain after deadly floods

Al Jazeera  

Spain has closed schools and evacuated residents as heavy rains lashed the country, two weeks after its worst floods in a generation that killed more than 200 people. National weather office AEMET placed the southern province of Malaga and the northeastern Catalonia region on red alert on Wednesday, the highest level for strong rains expected to last until Friday. Less severe downpours are also expected in the flood-hit eastern Valencia region, but local officials warned that since sewage systems are clogged with mud they could struggle to cope. The rain also meant schools and universities closed across large parts of Valencia, the southern region of Andalusia and Catalonia.
