Emergency workers and members of the Civil Guard were seen evacuating residents trapped in the flooded Navarrese town of Tudela on Sunday.

The flooding occurred due to the overflowing of the Ebro river, with water levels reaching over six metres.

“We have had to vacate some building due to electrical problems in the power cut,” said Inigo Arriazu, a Civil servant.

At least one person was reported dead in another flooded town in the Navarra region on Sunday.

Translation:
SOT, Inigo Arriazu, Civil Servant (Spanish): “What we’ve been doing this afternoon is checking homes. We have had to vacate some building due to electrical problems in the power cut. It has had to enter electrical forces to disconnect several areas and thus evacuation of people and people who had to go to work, people who have run out of electricity, without heating, then evacuate them to the hotels that are in the area.”

SOT, Elvira Lamban, Resident (Spanish): “We were out, we arrived in the afternoon. But they [the authorities] were warning us of the floods.”

SOT, Elvira Lamban, Resident (Spanish): “We had to go through the runways, we have not been able to park our car, we had to leave our suitcases in the car because we do not have a lift and we live on the ninth floor.”

SOT, Domingo Garces, Resident (Spanish): “What happens is that we have been away, so we have been attentive to see how it was going to come and be able to get here.”
