There are five observations I can make:
1. This southern region of Spain is usually dry (maybe up to 14 inches a rain in a year). So when this eight-hour period ended....it'd dumped a full-year of rain on awful dry soil, and it had to run off (instead of being absorbed).
2. Forecasted? No....there might have been 30 minutes of some warning of massive rain coming....so this was a total shock.
3. Emergency services? Crap. Even discussing some national FEMA-like recovery plan....it just doesn't appear to exist.
4. In terms of missing folks? Even today (Monday)....there's 2,000 on the list, and it's pretty certain they are dead.
5. How long a recovery period? Based on video....I'd say a minimum of two years.
