Man rescued from flooded tunnel as Spain rains leave three people dead
A third person has died in southern Spain's torrential rains, as two airports, local train networks and dozens of roads were closed in a second day of heavy rainfall.
Reuters images showed dramatic rescue efforts of a man stranded inside a tunnel in the town of Pilar de la Horadada. A person helping the rescue efforts said the man survived by holding onto a traffic sign.
Almeria and Murcia's airport were closed, Spanish airport operator Aena said and tourists were also left stranded in Alicante airport.
Although the weather seemed to be stabilising, several of the southeastern regions remain on red alert and rivers like the Segura, which had already flooded the town of Orihuela in Alicante, were still at risk of overflowing in the city of Murcia, the local water management authority said.
