New vid captures harrowing moment deadly Valencia floods struck out of NOWHERE before torrents killed at least 218

SHOCKING new video has captured the moment the deadly floods in Valencia surged towards the region – leaving at least 218 dead.

Torrents of water can be seen rushing past residential blocks from out of nowhere as the flash floods sweep up almost everything in its way from cars to hundreds of helpless people.

Authorities have already confirmed over 200 deaths in Valencia since the weather chaos first erupted but the search for bodies continues.

The death toll is expected to rise to about 400, making it Europe’s deadliest flash flood in five decades.

Harrowing footage shows how the surges of floodwater quickly washed through packed out towns and cities.

One Brit living in the quiet area of Paiporta has revealed how he was forced to helplessly listen to his neighbours’ final screams for help as they were killed by fast-flowing water.

Jerome Torres, 49, said the horrifying swamped streets of Valencia looked like something out of an “apocalyptic” horror film on Tuesday evening.

Hundreds of cars had to be abandoned in the middle of the streets as the floods came in.

Pictures showed how many of the motors were left floating in endless murky, brown streams.

Even after the water had been partially cleared cars were still left flipped over on their bonnets and smashed to pieces.

Officials say that many victims have been discovered trapped inside their cars.

Pictures of brave rescue workers searching through an underground car park shows them discovering cars bobbing above the water as they look for any survivors.

The Spanish government has vowed to “improve” their recovery efforts after a number of angered citizens kicked off over the lacklustre response and poor prior warnings.

Frustrated residents of Paiporta hurled mud at Spanish King Felipe VI on Sunday when he visited the town following the disaster.

Locals shouted “Get out! Get out!” and “Killers!” at the royal as police stepped in to keep back the crowd.

The government has now deployed 10,000 soldiers and police officers to battle the torrid conditions as officials believe 2,000 people remain missing.

The flood was caused by downpour in the mountains above the Spanish region of Valencia. No warnings were issued by the local authorities until two hours after the deluge tore through Paiporta.

Many roads remain blocked by piles of vehicles swept through the town by tsunami-like waters.

So far, three Brits have died after an elderly couple was confirmed dead this morning.

Don Turner, 78, and his wife, Terry, 74 were found in the town of Pedralba near Valencia.

The pair’s daughter, Ruth O’Loughlin, from Burntwood, Staffordshire, confirmed her parents’ bodies were found in their car on Saturday.

She told the BBC they had moved to Spain ten years ago as they “always wanted to live in the sunshine”.

Ruth said she had last spoken to them before they disappeared adding that her mum had been complaining about the rain.

Another Brit aged 71, died in hospital last week after he was rescued by boat from his flooded home near Malaga.

A red alert has now also been issued for Barcelona after the catastrophic flash floods.

Spain’s weather service has issued a red warning of “extreme danger” and urged people not to travel “unless strictly necessary.”
