Madrid is under a torrential downpour of rain and hail as floods sweep over the city’s streets, washing away cars and anything else in their path. The storms were captured in incredible footage.

The immense storm passed over Madrid on Monday afternoon, with footage emerging from the city’s Arganda district detailing its destructive power. Cars, trash cans and benches, among other debris, could be seen swept up in the flash floods.

Un très violent #orage a concerné la localité de #Arganda (#Espagne), dans la proche banlieue de Madrid ce soir. Les dégâts semblent considérables avec de véritables torrents en pleine rue ! >> https://t.co/UKHXyX0I52pic.twitter.com/Eq4vXYnMBK — Météo Villes (@Meteovilles) August 26, 2019

Other videos showed the extent of the flooding more clearly, with a veritable river surging through the city.

The floods left several inches of standing water in some locations, undoubtedly causing thousands of dollars in damage.
