Alex Philbin, from Dublin, says she has witnessed flooding in the region before but never “of this scale”
An Irishwoman in Valencia has told of how residents received a ‘do not go outside’ alert on their phones on Tuesday night, hours after devastation began.
She told the Irish Mirror: “Around me yesterday it was really windy, a few trees have fallen but we didn’t see any flooding in my area. In other towns, it is mainly the rescue operation today from all of the flooding yesterday. The Dubliner said: “Yesterday we saw everything that was going on, the emergency services were really saturated so we knew then that it was really serious but we didn’t get the official alert on our phones until 8pm yesterday evening and by then, so much destruction had already happened.
Amanda Kazak, 24, has been living in Valencia since last summer. The Meath native travelled home to Ireland to partake in the Dublin Marathon.
