Earlier in the day the CHS water administration authority had reported around 80 millimetres of rain in 24 hours a few kilometres inland from Los Alcázares, and as floodwater made its way along the “ramblas” (natural runoff channels) towards the Mar Menor the streets of the town once again began to disappear beneath floodwater. Anxious residents were forced to disregard the coronavirus lockdown to escape the flooding in their homes while the local emergency services spokesman Sergio Gil asked residents to warn his staff if their households contain any possible coronavirus cases before they undertake any rescue operation.
Rural roads were made impassable by the rain in many parts of the Campo de Cartagena and along the inland coast of the Mar Menor after the Town Hall of Los Alcázares began to warn of worrying increases in the flow rates of the ramblas shortly after dawn on Tuesday, and residents of the Lomas del Rame and Bahía Bella neighbourhoods were quickly advised to retreat to upper floors of their homes.

The situation in Los Alcázares on Tuesday morning was by no means as calamitous as the scenes caused by the massive gota fría storm of September, but the latest episode of heavy rain underlines once again the need for effective flood protection measures to be implemented along the inland shore of the Mar Menor.
Other municipalities also reported heavy rainfall, flooding and a huge volume of water through their ramblas:
