DANA storm impacts Valencia

This morning, October 30th, Valencia woke up to the aftermath of a severe DANA storm (isolated low-pressure system) that has caused notable damage across the region. While authorities are still assessing the full impact, confirmed reports indicate both injuries and loss of life. Emergency services continue efforts to locate missing persons and assist those affected.

Impact on Infrastructure

Roads and Motorways: Flooding, landslides, and debris have closed several roads, with the A-7 and A-3 motorways among the most affected.

Railways: Train services are suspended on several lines due to damaged tracks and infrastructure.

Port of Valencia: Delays and cancellations are impacting shipping schedules due to operational disruptions.

Industrial and Logistics Centres: Many parks and logistics hubs are experiencing interruptions from water damage and power outages.

Emergency teams are working around the clock to restore normal operations. However, full recovery may take time as clean-up efforts continue.
