Storm Leonardo Ravages Spain: Aerial Footage Shows Granada Villages Submerged and Thousands Displaced

Devastating aerial footage has emerged from Granada, Spain, capturing the sheer scale of destruction caused by Storm Leonardo. The video, captured by drones and emergency helicopters, shows entire villages submerged under murky floodwaters after record-breaking rainfall triggered severe overflowing of local rivers.

The situation has reached a critical point, with local authorities reporting that thousands of residents have been forced to evacuate their homes. Many were rescued from rooftops as the water levels rose with terrifying speed, cutting off roads and destroying vital infrastructure across the province.

Emergency services are working around the clock, but the extent of the damage to agriculture and residential property is expected to be historic. "We have never seen anything like this," said one local official, describing the scene as a "landscape of water and despair." As Storm Leonardo continues to impact the region, the focus remains on search and rescue operations and providing temporary shelter for the thousands of displaced families in Granada.
