Congrats @SurreySevilla on the victory by Crystal Palace! First of many, let’s hope. Now I understand why we haven’t seen you around much. Between Sevilla and Crystal Palace … Not a lot of joy in football this start of the season…
Apocalyptic night in the south and south-east of Spain. Thousands of cars swept away in floods, bridges and houses too destroyed and swept away, thousands of cars written off with extensive damage from 6" hailstones. Horrific.
80,000 cars estimated going to scrap yard after the flooding.
In other news the head of Madrid’s police money laundering unit has been caught with a Lamborghini, €900k in cash, and another €2m stuffed in the walls of his house. It’s like Venezuela.
It’s now 200K cars going to the scrap heap after the Spanish floods, the total collective of scrap yards can process just 40k each year. Good business for them for the next 5 years at least.
My cousin is in Benamargosa Málaga and got washed out on Wednesday, I haven’t asked her about the car yet because the road in and out was blocked by the river.
It was a different storm in Málaga, a week after. It’s sad but the insfrastructure is in a bad state and is the chief cause of the flooding. The south needs the Autumn rains though, the resevoirs were down to 8% in Almería and 13% in Málaga.
