Chuva intensa em Espanha leva à evacuação de uma localidade e à suspensão de aulas

Intense rainfall in Spain has led to the evacuation of Piedralaves due to the risk of dam overflow and the suspension of classes in Extremadura. The Civil Protection of Castile and León ordered the evacuation of the town, which has 2,200 residents, as a precaution against the potential overflow of the Horcajo dam. Residents were advised to seek shelter at designated locations. The Spanish Civil Guard is assisting in the evacuation, which includes elderly residents from a care home. In Extremadura, classes were suspended across all non-university educational institutions due to severe weather warnings. The regional government aims to minimize road traffic and ensure public safety amid forecasts of heavy rainfall and strong winds.
