The Community of Madrid has lowered the flood alert level to zero due to the improvement we are experiencing in the weather today, but the rivers continue to flow strongly and have caused flooding. In fact, five roads in the region are still closed.
In Galapagar, the Puente del Herrero, in Galapagar, overflowed yesterday due to the rise of the Guadarrama River. There are still three evacuated neighbors, and today many residents have to clean their homes. The residents complain that no one informed them that they were going to release water, and that all that water was going to end up in their homes, which are located just 30 meters from the river.
Madrid’s reservoirs, at the limit, open floodgates after intense rains
Three people had to be evacuated and relocated by the municipality to a rural house.
A huge gap has exposed electric cables and pipes, cutting off access to the riverbank. The weather is improving. The water is slowly returning to its course, although residents are keeping an eye on the Guadarrama River as it passes through the Puente del Herreño.
