In Spain, flooded parking lots in supermarkets turned into cemeteries (1 photo + 4 videos)
Spain still can't recover from the severe flooding. The rain started on October 29 and in a few hours broke the 1966 record. Cities were literally under water. 
It's been three days since the last rain, but the water hasn't receded from the underground parking lots.
This is what the Bonaire shopping center in Aldaya, the largest in Valencia, looked like today. The parking lot, designed for 5,800 spaces, was completely under water in less than half an hour. People simply couldn't get out because of the strong flow of water rushing into the parking lot.
It is still impossible to get inside, the water is almost up to the roof. The exact number of victims is unknown. Divers have just started working, ordinary rescuers simply cannot do it.
"This is a cemetery," say sources close to ESdiario.
A practically similar situation is now happening in the parking lot of "Mercadona" (a supermarket chain in Spain), which is completely flooded. Rescuers are sure that there are many victims inside who tried to get out of their cars, but could not because of the flow of water.
One of the employees of the shopping centre, Eduardo, told ElDiario.es: “Everything below ground level is a car park, and the security guard told me that when the water started to rise, he warned people to look for a safe place on the upper floors of the shopping centre and not to go down to get their cars, but many of them ignored him.
Nobody knows exactly how many people might still be there. The car park is still flooded and they haven’t started pumping out the water yet.”
A Valencian who survived the flooding is sharing his impressions quite emotionally and asking for help, because heavy rains are expected in the region again.
“You can’t imagine what’s going on here!” Watching it on TV is one thing, but the reality is three times worse. I spent 6 hours in a tree! The authorities raised the alarm when I was sitting in that damn tree. My God, there were dead people floating around me! Please send us help! Please!”
The government has not yet announced even an approximate number of the dead, with around 1,900 people missing. The 28-year-old Spanish footballer Jose Castillejo also died in the flood.
According to the Valencian Community Volunteer Platform, the number of people who have registered to help has exceeded 100,000.
