Videos: Extreme Floods Hit Spain

Severe flooding in Spain piled up these cars. So far six people are
known dead from the severe storms. 

It wasn't just South Dakota that had epic floods this week.

Parts of Spain had even more extreme inundations, as the videos below show.  

The flooding has killed at least six people, including one man who was in a car inside a tunnel that filled up with water within minutes, according to The Guardian. 

The storms were focused in southern Spain. One town got 3.5 inches of rain in an hour. (For comparison, here in Vermont, on average, it takes the entire month of September to get that much rain. Another community reported a storm total of 15 inches.

This is the second time in about a month that Spain has been hit by extreme storms. In August, flooding and severe hail hit in and around Madrid
