In Toledo, south of the capital Madrid, 90 liters of rain per square meter was measured on Sunday, reports the Spanish weather service AEMET: Helicopters have been sent to evacuate people who have climbed onto their roofs to get away from the water masses, reports Reuters. One of the missing is a man who was in the car when it slid into the Alberche River southwest of Madrid. His ten-year-old son managed to climb a tree and was rescued on Monday morning, after eight hours in the tree, writes El Pais. In central Spain, roads, train lines and subways are closed due to the water masses.
