Heavy rains hit eastern coast of Spain

North-eastern Spain was hit by floods due to severe rainstorms across Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.

One person has died, two other people are missing, some 40 roads are blocked, and some 24,000 homes suffered power cuts in Catalonia due to heavy rainstorms hitting the region last hours.

At least three people in San Antonio on Ibiza were injured after a hut on a construction site in which they were sheltering from the storms was ripped off the ground by a tornado.
