STORM GLORIA BRINGS HEAVY SNOW TO SPAIN, KILLING AT LEAST 3

And “Gloria” did indeed deliver, lashing many parts of Spain through the weekend and into Monday–forcing the closure of Alicante Airport along with more than 30 roads in the east due to heavy snow.

Some 10,000 homes in and around the southeastern town of Orihuela were left with electricity Monday following power-line faults, while at least 3 people were killed across the country.

In Valencia, fire fighters were dispatched to clear the roads of snow, while in the Balearic Islands, roads were closed as rivers burst their banks following 24 hours of torrential rain. Storm surges also struck the islands — 14.22m waves were recorded in Dragonera island (the highest ever recorded in Balearics).
