GRAZALEMA, SPAIN:
One of Spain’s main rivers was close to bursting its banks on Friday, and experts warned of landslides from waterlogged ground as Storm Leonardo swept across the Iberian Peninsula, with more storms expected.
Over 7,000 people have been forced to leave their homes in the southern Andalusia region due to a “storm train” of consecutive weather fronts pounding Portugal and Spain with torrential rains and strong winds over recent weeks.
