Short filmTranscript
00:00Large tornado in progress.
00:03Capable of catastrophic destruction.
00:06Severe thunderstorm warning.
00:08Leaving landscapes in total ruin.
00:11Totally mashed up. Everything is flattened.
00:14As global temperatures rise,
00:18the weather is spiraling out of control.
00:22Oh, shoot!
00:24With shocking up-close footage.
00:27We had 24-foot dumpsters rolling by.
00:30Oh, shoot! I'm losing it. My trail's going.
00:33From the front line of fear.
00:35This might be the last time I'm in my house.
00:38Cordego!
00:40I got sucked out feet first.
00:43Felt myself hit the ground.
00:46Our island is in trouble.
00:48We meet the people who have stared death in the face.
00:52Oh, dear God.
00:54All I could hear was run, run, run.
00:56And miraculously survived.
00:59Look at that!
01:01The world's deadliest weather.
01:12Coming up.
01:14Ferocious floods slam Spain.
01:19After relentless rainfall ravages Valencia.
01:24And trapped people risk their lives to escape.
01:30In North Carolina, Hurricane Helene's fury triggers devastating landslides.
01:39I saw the whole side of the mountain coming down.
01:43Burying roads and homes beneath mountains of debris.
01:52The sheer scale of it was frightening.
01:55And a blazing inferno tears through the heart of Oregon in the U.S.
02:01There are flames just beyond these trees.
02:04Turning the once thriving forest into a smoldering wasteland.
02:09It was one of the most terrifying things of my life.
02:12We should have died.
02:14We are fleeing the house.
02:15We are fleeing the house.
02:30In Valencia, Spain's worst flood in modern history.
02:35But this looks really bad.
02:38After a year's worth of rain falls in just eight hours.
02:43Put the apartment on the street.
02:46Unleashing a deadly deluge that submerges entire neighborhoods.
02:53And claims hundreds of lives.
03:00The devastating floods in Spain were caused by a number of factors all coming together.
03:06We had low pressure high up in the sky and also colder air high up as well.
03:12The winds at the surface were also really important because they drew in a lot of moisture.
03:17The Mediterranean was also warmer than average.
03:20All of this basically generated thunderstorm after thunderstorm that dropped huge amounts of rainfall.
03:26That all just funneled down into these built up areas and created the streets that turned into rivers.
03:40The Valencian town of Pai Porta on the east coast of Spain is now dubbed the ground zero of the October 2024 floods.
03:49Because of the role, the area's dry ravine, known as the Barranco del Pollo, played in the disaster.
03:56Motorcycle instructor José Luis and his two dogs, Cookie and Shira, have a workshop nearby.
04:03Pai Porta is a small town, but close to the city.
04:07So you have the tranquility of a town, but you also have the activity of a city.
04:10Yes, the Barranco del Pollo is a barranco that usually is dry.
04:16As long as possible, the water is dry.
04:17Although there are many raining during a short time, there will be no water here.
04:23October 29th, 2024, severe and persistent rain hits Valencia and begins filling the ravine
04:34with alarming speed. The local government issues an emergency alert, but it's too late.
04:42By nightfall, the ravine begins overflowing into the city streets. Staying in a hotel nearby
04:53with some colleagues is entrepreneur Axel Zaragoza.
05:12Some people started to move or hit a car.
05:19When the water starts to go up near the metro, that there is a lot of water in the hotel...
05:26It's been 10 minutes ago that we've arrived.
05:30We all went to the first plant and the water speed was already very violent.
05:38Our red car is gone.
05:43Sales representative Carmen Martinez, staying on the hotel's first floor,
05:48is starting to panic as the water level rises outside her glass patio doors.
05:54Madre mía, con el apartamento a pie de calle.
05:59La fuerza, la corriente, el ruido era brutal.
06:06No podías parar, no podías hacer nada con esa cantidad de agua.
06:10No podías hacer nada con esa cantidad de agua.
06:12Me puse como un colchón encima de otro para que, pues bueno, no mojarme.
06:16Pero es que la habitación seguía inundándose.
06:23José Luis' workshop is also being engulfed by the floodwater.
06:27Entonces, ahí me alarmé un poco porque había mucha agua y...
06:31¡Pukis, irá, vamos!
06:35Y es algo que no me esperaba para nada.
06:38Outside, he's shocked at what he sees.
06:40El agua venía muy, muy marrón, traía muchísima suciedad, me llegaba a la altura de las rodillas,
06:48yo iba, cogía a mis dos perros y los puse a salvo encima de un coche.
06:54No puedo salir de aquí.
06:56Estuve llamando a emergencias, al 112, pero estaba saturado y se colgaba.
07:02Y el problema es que mientras yo hacía las llamadas, la corriente se me iba llevando.
07:07Los perros, yo los tuve controlados durante unos 15, 20 minutos, como mucho.
07:16Yo vi que caían al agua y nadaban, pero no sabía dónde estaban y no podía llegar yo.
07:22Y mis perros se han caído del puerto.
07:25Entonces yo no podía luchar contra corriente, no llegaba.
07:28La corriente era tan fuerte que yo no llegaba a ellos.
07:30La corriente era tan fuerte que yo no podía llegar a ellos.
07:43Florida.
07:45September 2024.
07:48Hurricane Helene makes landfall.
07:52It's the deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland United States in almost 20 years.
07:57Causing an estimated $78 billion worth of damage and claiming at least 230 lives.
08:08Rainfall from the disaster leads to catastrophic flooding across neighboring states.
08:13One of the areas affected is the Blue Ridge mountain range in North Carolina.
08:23The already saturated mountainside endures a rainfall of 30 inches in just 72 hours.
08:33Leading to a series of deadly landslides.
08:36Whoa.
08:42September 27th, 2024.
08:45Realtors Alan and Kelly Keffer from Chesapeake, Virginia, are about to drive home after a week's vacation in Tennessee.
08:53We were actually in Seaverville next to Pigeon Forge.
08:57Because my brother owns a cabin there, we were just there to relax and take the week off.
09:02You know, it rained the whole week we were there.
09:04It did.
09:04Though the couple had heard reports that a hurricane had hit Florida,
09:10they feel far enough away to see no cause for concern about their upcoming journey.
09:17I had checked the radar the night before we were planning to come home.
09:21And I figured, yeah, it's going to be some rain, it's going to be some wind, it's no big deal.
09:26And so we decided to hit the road.
09:30We left, I would say, around 7.30 a.m.
09:35The drive is primarily interstate, so it's usually an easy ride, and it usually takes about eight hours.
09:44It was raining, and it was very windy, and there were some trees blowing down.
09:47I-40, Brown Asheville, through the thick of the storm.
09:54I started taking video as I saw the trees were coming down across the road, um, and some flooding.
10:01Wow, the other side of the road.
10:07This big, bad boy and his brother.
10:09It seemed like every five or ten miles there was a tree down.
10:15Thank goodness the truckers are in front of us and see them.
10:18Sometimes they only covered one lane so we could go around them.
10:25Several times we had to stop and wait for maybe five minutes or ten minutes.
10:29More trees down.
10:31Because traffic was backed up waiting for somebody to cut the tree with a chainsaw and pull it off to the side.
10:40As the journey painstakingly progresses, the couple approach the Blue Ridge mountain range,
10:45home to Rachel Wilkes and her husband Israel, who live in a cabin on her parents' farmland property.
10:54We live on top of a mountain, so flooding has never been an issue for us.
10:59We heard that Hurricane Helene was coming in.
11:02You know, just expected there to be some, some rain throughout the week.
11:05We did not really expect it to affect us at all.
11:0910.15 or 10.30 that morning, we walked past our little local park and our playground was flooded
11:18and we were walking over a bridge and then I saw someone's couch come floating down the river towards me.
11:22Oh, look at the couch! Oh my God!
11:26We really started to think then, man, how high is that water going to get if it's taking people's furniture?
11:33Oh my God!
11:36We still had the comfort that, you know, we lived on a mountain, so we weren't going to have to worry about it.
11:42And when we got back, that was the main thing. It was like, wow, it was really flooded out there,
11:46but luckily we're up here, so we'll probably be good.
11:51But as the rain worsens, the couple begin to notice the effects closer to home.
11:58All the rain that was coming down, it was just running off over the roads.
12:01You know, it had no further way to soak into the ground.
12:09We have a little small stream that runs beside our cabin and that was flowing
12:14quite hard and then our pond down the hill was overflowing.
12:20And then I went outside, I was looking at some water that had started flowing
12:25over our yard, over what's normally like perfectly dry ground.
12:28And so I was getting a video of that and then I looked up the hill and I saw that half the hillside
12:37had broken free and was coming at me.
12:39It didn't process for me that it was a mudslide right then because that was the last thing that any
12:48of us would ever expect. I didn't, you know, grasp the danger of that and I didn't grasp what a huge
12:56event that was. And then 15 seconds later, it had destroyed half of our house.
13:11It's a wildfire.
13:21July 21st 2021, Oregon, US. Around 160,000 hectares are ablaze across the southern part of the state,
13:33as a furious wildfire tears across woodland
13:37at speeds of over 400 hectares per hour.
13:41Wildfires love dry spells of weather.
13:44Heat is obviously a contributing factor.
13:46Just one spark can start a wildfire,
13:49and if you've had those conditions where it's been very dry,
13:52you've got the heat as well,
13:53well, a wildfire is just going to flourish.
13:56Living at the top of a mountain in a remote part of Oregon
13:59known as Klamath Falls
14:01is Fawn Smullen and her partner, Russell.
14:05It's beautiful, because it's very clear up there
14:08and quiet.
14:12There was nobody else around.
14:14It was the peace we wanted.
14:16It's very dry up there.
14:18It's all scrub, sage and pine trees, rocks.
14:22We knew we were in a fire risk.
14:26We just didn't expect it to get as bad as it did.
14:28July 6th, lightning strikes an area
14:34of the nearby Fremont-Winnemar National Forest,
14:37close to Bootleg Spring, sparking a wildfire.
14:42Smoke started to come up into the sky.
14:45Just little smoke columns,
14:46like somebody had a bonfire going.
14:50Wildfires occur for lots of different reasons.
14:54It can be when lightning strikes.
14:57And if it's an electrical storm
14:59and the land below is very dry
15:01and it's full of vegetation, which is dry,
15:03then what allows these wildfires to develop
15:06and become real raging infernos
15:10is the strength and the direction of the wind.
15:12This is our sun right now.
15:16Isn't that lovely?
15:18The sky is filled with clouds.
15:21Well, smoke.
15:23As you can tell.
15:25As the fire spreads,
15:27Fawn and Russell notice the smoke getting thicker.
15:30Everything is yellow.
15:33I cannot describe to you how eerie it is.
15:36It is 3.28 p.m.,
15:39and this light usually doesn't get this slow
15:42until about 9.
15:44After six days,
15:45a separate fire starts nearby
15:47and merges with the Bootleg Spring fire.
15:51Local authorities issue an evacuation order,
15:55but Fawn and Russell are determined to stay put
15:58and defend their home from the fires.
16:01As you can see, we're kind of busy.
16:02We're fixing to try to put some of this smaller stuff out
16:07that's on this right side of the road,
16:08try to keep it contained to the left side.
16:11That'll keep it between the river and the main road,
16:14which is paved,
16:15so maybe we can do something about this.
16:18Three days, Russell was out there
16:21actively fighting fires,
16:24trying to dig some trenches,
16:26trying to dig a fire break,
16:28trying to do everything possible
16:29to keep the fire from coming to our property.
16:34You probably can't tell,
16:36but there are flames just beyond these trees.
16:39And the entire time,
16:40the sky keeps getting darker and darker yellow.
16:43This is what being in the middle of a forest fire is, people.
16:47Back in Paiporta, Valencia,
17:01floodwater is still rising rapidly
17:04after heavy rain causes
17:05what is normally a dry ravine to overflow.
17:10Streets are engulfed
17:12as the metre-high, fast-flowing deluge
17:15rips through the neighbourhood.
17:17And my ferros have fallen out of the water.
17:21Jose Louis is trapped in the floodwater.
17:25His two dogs have just been swept away.
17:28The problem was not the height of the water,
17:30the problem was the current,
17:31the strength that they had.
17:33And the cars started to fly
17:36and move with the current of the water.
17:38I can't get out of here.
17:41This is what saved me.
17:42So I protected me behind a furgoneta
17:45that was at
18:05From the second floor of a nearby hotel, Axel Zaragoza and his colleagues are filming the floods when they notice José Luis struggling against the current.
18:35When I saw them, I didn't ask them directly, but I went up to the tree and told them that they were fine.
18:51Okay, I've been up to the tree. It has been a lot of water, but it looks really bad.
19:00I don't have to wait anything else.
19:03The window would be about two meters to the tree. It was not a very robust tree.
19:10I asked them to find a cord or something to try to rescue him.
19:17That's when we started the curtain, we took the sábanas and made some lianas to try to pull it out and put it through the window.
19:29We're going to take this guy from here, because if no, he'll take the water.
19:36I jumped with all my strength, up and up.
19:39Up and up and up and up.
19:42He fell down like a pendulum.
19:45They fell in that moment, and I shot against the facade of the hotel.
19:49I went up to the window and I was trembling and I didn't know where to.
20:00Okay, I'm fine. They had rescue the hotel right near the side.
20:03And that was done, and he was alone in the bathroom,
20:07refiriendo to what had happened.
20:10But the legs...
20:14I think it would have been better if they would have left them there.
20:21So I fell in a bed,
20:23and I had a little anxiety crisis
20:28that I pushed myself to cry for about 5 minutes.
20:33MUSIC
20:46Back in North Carolina,
20:48Hurricane Helene is dumping months of rainfall on the state.
20:53Realtors Alan and Kelly Keffer
20:56are driving home from a week's vacation in Tennessee,
21:00and they're about to pass through a mountain range known as the Black Mountains.
21:06This is Black Mountain.
21:08The Black Mountain in North Carolina is just east of Asheville,
21:13and it's a typical Appalachian mountain.
21:17Not difficult to drive other than the wind and the rain.
21:22We were at the top of the mountain, and I just glanced to my left.
21:28Whoa!
21:29And I saw the whole side of the mountain coming down.
21:34This was a landslide.
21:36I heard him say, whoa, and he stepped on the gas.
21:39Whoa!
21:42Immediately, things started hitting the car.
21:45It was loud.
21:47There were big rocks and boulders.
21:49I was kind of like going like this, just waiting for a big one to crush us.
21:54It was terrifying.
21:56Holy .
21:58I'm not sure how to describe it.
21:59It's just, I saw danger and I fled.
22:08After I glanced at it, I didn't look at it again.
22:10I looked straight ahead.
22:11I may not need you for that.
22:12I'm so grateful he was driving because I don't know what I would have done in the same situation.
22:27If I had seen it, you know, I'm afraid I would have froze.
22:33I may not need you for that.
22:35It really inflicted catastrophic flooding in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
22:40This can happen when Gulf hurricanes move into the mountains, bringing moisture-laden air.
22:45It dumps tremendous rainfall in these mountain areas with a lot of runoff.
22:50Anytime we see prolonged rainfall in mountainous areas, we have not only water rushing off the landscape,
22:56but it can loosen up rocks and boulders to slide down these mountains.
22:59And these landslides can actually crash into towns and communities and buildings, destroying them.
23:10Up at their cabin on the mountain, Rachel and Israel are still reeling after a mudslide has smashed straight into her parents' home,
23:19narrowly missing their own.
23:21Israel came running out, and he grabbed me, and he says, I thought I'd lost you.
23:30I saw out our window a deluge of mud come down, and I knew that my wife was out there, but I didn't see her.
23:39Rushing out the door for those brief few moments, not knowing where Rachel was and wondering if she had actually been taken in that mudslide was very nerve-wracking.
23:50I'm okay. It's okay. It's okay.
23:54And then I look at our house, and I see our car was on top of the roof, and our garage is flattened.
24:00It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
24:03Hey, hey, you're okay.
24:05I mean, at that point, you know, I realized or started to grasp the severity of what had just happened.
24:12It's okay. It's okay.
24:15And from there, it was wondering, you know, is everyone safe?
24:19Was anybody in the gym?
24:21My parents and my grandma were in our house, the house that got hit by the mudslide.
24:26If my parents were in that garage, they wouldn't be here anymore.
24:32Everything's gone. It's all gone.
24:37Landslides aren't the only way in which the ground beneath our feet can sometimes betray us.
24:44Around the world, approximately 20,000 earthquakes are reported each year.
24:49April 2024.
24:51A surveillance camera in this alleyway in Hawa-lin County, Taiwan captures the moment two passers-by are forced to flee for their lives.
25:06As an earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale causes the building on the right to partially collapse, showering them with dangerous debris and clouds of dust.
25:19On the street outside, chaos unfolds as the shots at the base of the building are engulfed by the earth.
25:28The earthquake, which damaged 176 buildings across Hawa-lin County, was the country's strongest in 25 years.
25:43150 kilometers north, in Taipei, the very same earthquake is felt by the residents of this apartment building.
25:56As the ground shakes violently, items fall from shelves and furniture moves.
26:13Miraculously, the person filming wasn't hurt.
26:15But across the country, at least 18 people tragically lost their lives in the earthquake and the aftershocks that followed.
26:32Back in Spain, flash floods are devastating Valencia and the surrounding areas.
26:38After a year's worth of rain has fallen in just eight hours.
26:42Hundreds of people are trapped and the emergency services are inundated.
26:51Among them is Vicent Alapont Ferri from the Valencia Province Fire Department.
26:56In the town of Pai Porter, Carmen is stuck in her hotel room as Floodwater submerges the first floor hallway.
27:10Madre mía, con el apartamento a pie de calle.
27:11Madre mía, con el apartamento a pie de calle.
27:13And she is unable to get through to the emergency services or the hotel staff to get help.
27:16Yo lo único por lo que rezaba y pedía era que no se cayera la cristalera, porque entonces sí que vamos, moriría.
27:22Allí estuve dos horas y media hasta que pude contactar con la gente del hostal para avisarles que estaba allí.
27:32On the floor above, Axel and his colleagues have just rescued José Luis from the floods.
27:39Now the hotel staff ask for their help in rescuing Carmen too.
27:46So they form a plan utilizing a fire hose and some bedsheets.
27:52And there was a moment when we said, well, someone has to get to the tent, make a rapel and hit the window to open it so that Carmen can get out of there.
28:20So that Carmen can also get out of there, because there the water still continues.
28:26The people who were there, there was a man who was very delgado, very low.
28:32So they proposed that if he could go through the window,
28:37attached to the sábanes that they had rescued me,
28:39to see that in the rooms there no one would have been able to die.
28:43Well, a boy with a liana of sábanes anudadas.
28:49He entered, put his foot in the desk that was underneath the window.
28:55He was anudated.
28:58He didn't look at how he was anudated,
29:00or if he was anudated or not.
29:02He told me, come up.
29:04Come up.
29:05Come up.
29:08And I started to fall like an orange.
29:13Come up.
29:14Come up.
29:15Come up.
29:16Come up.
29:17Come up.
29:18Come up.
29:19Come up.
29:20Come up.
29:21Come up.
29:22Come up.
29:23Come up.
29:24Come up.
29:25And we could go up to Carmen.
29:26And well, the supervivency instinct is at the end,
29:28it's bigger than the fear.
29:29And at the end, you throw it in front and you don't look down.
29:34Come up.
29:37And then we threw the bag again and he went up.
29:43Well, the boy played his life without a doubt.
29:46He was the real hero of all this history without a borrower.
29:50Back at the top of the mountain in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
30:06You probably can't tell, but there are flames just beyond these trees.
30:11Fawn Smullen and her partner, Russell, are desperately trying to protect their property from not one but two approaching wildfires.
30:21This is what being in the middle of a forest fire is, people.
30:28By nightfall, the flames are now so close that Fawn and Russell have no choice but to abandon their home and flee for their lives.
30:38We left when we saw flames approaching from three different directions.
30:45We threw everything that we could in the truck.
30:49We are fleeing the house, people.
30:52We are fleeing.
30:54We knew we were driving into the fire because the fire traveled up the mountain and we were at the top.
31:02Driving down was one of the most terrifying things of my life.
31:07Keep driving, baby.
31:10You're doing very, very good.
31:11Cows.
31:12Cows.
31:14Oh, baby.
31:15I'm sorry, babies.
31:16I'm sorry.
31:20I was hoping that we had not left it too late.
31:26The road gets soft the hotter the fire gets and the slower you have to drive.
31:33We drove through flames that were reaching 60 foot tall trees up in the air.
31:43When you're in the middle of it, you have three thoughts.
31:47One, am I going to make it out alive?
31:52Two, I'm probably not going to make this out alive.
31:56And three, how much is it going to hurt when I don't make it?
32:00At least four times coming down that mountain, we should have died.
32:07We did not stop till we reached the river.
32:11Once we reached the river, we were able to stop and breathe.
32:16Miraculously, Fawn and Russell make it down the mountain safely, where they stay until the fires are under control.
32:27But when they return days later, the couple find there is nothing left of their home.
32:33It was like somebody punched me in the throat.
32:39Everything was ash.
32:42My whole entire world just went up like a match.
32:48Here's where our house was.
32:52Yeah, I really don't know what else to say about this.
32:56We've lost everything.
32:57The fire was so hot, my truck melted.
33:03It was heartbreaking and cruel.
33:12Everything is gone.
33:14The fires in Oregon burned for a total of 39 days, destroying over 167,000 hectares of woodland and 400 structures.
33:25The disaster is the third largest wildfire in the state's history.
33:32And it's had a profound impact on the lives of its residents.
33:37Who I was before the fire is not who I am now.
33:42When you go through something like this, it's not something you forget.
33:46And it's going to take a long while before we get back up to how we were.
33:53But you are alive.
33:56You are safe.
33:58Everything else after that is icing on the cake.
34:01Back in North Carolina, extreme rainfall from Hurricane Helene has caused a massive landslide on the I-40 highway.
34:23Narrowly missing married couple, Alan and Kelly Keffer.
34:29Whoa!
34:31The mass of mud and rocks crosses four lanes of the interstate, propelling concrete barriers into the road.
34:38Whoa!
34:42Whoa!
34:43Alan and Kelly were left shaken, but unharmed.
34:48After Alan got us out of the immediate danger, it was shaky. I was shaking.
34:54You must have heard all that before.
34:57No, I didn't hear it. I just happened to see movement.
34:59I looked towards him and saw mud on his door on the interior and started looking towards the back of the car.
35:07The back glass was completely shattered.
35:10We narrowly escaped a landslide.
35:13It was, it scared us both.
35:18But before the relieved couple have the chance to stop, the storm throws more danger into their path.
35:25We were about five minutes after the landslide when I saw the tree begin to fall.
35:33And just stepped on the gas and tried to get away from it.
35:38It hit the back of the car.
35:40I only heard something and felt something hit the back of the car.
35:46It's like, of course it did. Why not?
35:57We're gonna pull off when we can. We're on Black Mountain. Coming down.
36:01We stopped and immediately started taking video of the car, of all the damage.
36:08Finally got to stop.
36:11And just flabbergasted at the amount of damage done to the car.
36:17There was a gash at the roof of the car, right above Alan's head.
36:25I'm very fortunate our guardian angel was with us today.
36:31Kind of made my knees a little weak all over again.
36:34Because if he had not stepped on the gas when he had whatever it was that put the gash in the roof of the car,
36:41probably would have hit the windshield.
36:44Whoa!
36:46Whoa!
36:47Up in the mountains, residents Rachel and Israel are also surveying the destruction left behind
36:57after another landslide smashed into Rachel's parents' nearby home.
37:08It's okay. It's okay.
37:10Are your parents okay? Was anybody in the gym?
37:12My parents and my grandma were in our house, the house that got hit by the mudslide.
37:18Everything's gone.
37:20Israel immediately ran down to the house and he burst in the door.
37:24We saw my parents and my grandma were okay.
37:31Seeing all the horrific damage that had been done, the sheer scale of it was quite frightening.
37:38This was the craft room. There's the gym.
37:44That part of the house was like, it's entirely lost.
37:47You know, it was flattened. There was no salvaging any of it.
37:55But we're safe.
37:57And you know, the car is replaceable, the house is replaceable, but we are not.
38:02We feel that we got off very lucky.
38:04So this up here is the area where the mudslide actually originated.
38:09Our theory is the wind blew over both of these trees.
38:13The area where the root ball used to be filled with water and just so much saturation in the soil already caused this whole section of the hill to cave away and barrel towards our house.
38:27If I had been a couple yards farther out, I probably would have gotten swept up in that mudslide.
38:36I'd say it's definitely changed our priorities when the storm's coming through and being a little better prepared.
38:41I can't enjoy, you know, a nice rainy day as much as I used to now, you know.
38:48Back in Spain, much of Valencia is submerged after being struck by one of the deadliest flash floods in Spanish history.
39:05Nuestro coche rojo se va.
39:09Hundreds of residents are trapped as flood water rages through the city streets.
39:16But in the early hours, the surge starts to calm and the floodwaters begin to retreat.
39:22At three, three, three and a half, we heard the silence and we were surprised.
39:29So we looked at the window and saw that the water level had already gone down.
39:33And it was there when we decided, Axel and Jose and I, to go down to see if we could help someone who was trapped in the car.
39:45The emergency services work tirelessly to rescue those trapped by the floods.
40:02One of them is Vicente Alapont Ferry from the Valencia Province Fire Department.
40:07And we were working all night.
40:11I did two consecutive guards because it was necessary.
40:18We were trained to do rescues, but that day was one, another, another, another, and it was continuous.
40:26So, the water is very dirty.
40:29The water continues to recede throughout the day.
40:57But the devastating destruction left behind in its wake is clear to see.
41:03But there was a glimmer of hope for Jose Luis.
41:06But there was a glimmer of hope for Jose Luis.
41:10Al día siguiente la pareja de un compañero lo encontró a través de Facebook en una foto
41:12que habían publicado, quien había publicado.
41:13But there was a glimmer of hope for Jose Luis.
41:32On the next day, a friend of a friend
41:35found him through Facebook,
41:37in a photo that they had published.
41:40And they got in contact with the girl,
41:43and they told her that she was good,
41:44only that she was vomiting,
41:45that she was wet and dry,
41:47but that at the beginning she was good.
41:49And we put photos
41:51of the other dog that we needed,
41:53the German pastor,
41:55to see if he could find someone
41:57who would tell us to go through.
41:59But it never appeared.
42:02It was really bad.
42:05The floods in Valencia and surrounding areas
42:08are estimated to have caused
42:10around 10 billion euros worth of damage.
42:13And at least 232 people
42:16tragically lost their lives in the disaster.
42:19For Carmen, Axel and Jose Luis,
42:22their shared experience
42:24has created an unbreakable bond.
42:26Now, when I came back to Pai Porta,
42:29I've always wanted to see Jose
42:31and explain how he is.
42:33With Carmen, I've also been writing.
42:37I've already told you,
42:39because active and passive,
42:40that I'm very grateful
42:41that he was there at that moment.
42:43We exchanged the phone number
42:45and we asked if we needed anything,
42:47that we would call us.
42:49And that's how it has been until today.
42:54I take them in the heart,
42:56that they are my angels of the guard
42:58and that I'm waiting for
43:00to see what day the universe
43:02will come back to us
43:03to give us life.
43:04Of course.
43:05I feel very fortunate
43:07to be here,
43:08to live the situation that I've lived.
43:10I stay with the love of people,
43:15even if they don't know you,
43:17even if they are of different ideas,
43:20religions,
43:21because in these emergency situations
43:23everyone was in the world
43:25in helping others,
43:27you know?
43:28And I stay with this,
43:30with the love of the human being.
43:32It was the best version of the human being,
43:35without any doubt,
43:36in everything that I found.
43:40It's very easy to underestimate
43:44the power of weather.
43:48Extreme weather can catch people off guard
43:50very quickly
43:51and cause devastation.
43:53With our changing climate,
43:55we know that weather
43:56is becoming more extreme.
43:59Heavy rain is getting heavier
44:01and hot spells are getting hotter.
44:03Mother Nature is a force
44:04that we can't really control.
44:10the weather.
44:16Tornado!
44:17Stay low!
44:18The pulse of the earth.
44:19And an uncontrollable force.
44:23Our island is in trouble!
44:25As global temperatures rise.
44:27It's my last time.
44:28I'm in my house.
44:30The weather is getting more extreme.
44:33It's an unstoppable force.
44:35And even more catastrophic.
44:39It's the most active I've ever seen it.
44:41With devastating consequence.
44:44You better go!
44:45It's coming!
44:47Proving once again.
44:50That we are no match
44:53for the world's deadliest weather.
44:56Oh dear God.
44:57Oh dear God.
45:26that you're huge!
45:27.
45:29folks at the Re�� of Collection.
45:33What are you doing today?
45:35There's nothing wrong in there.
45:36Oh dear God,
45:37that's
45:45the best reason
45:47what?
45:48If it's a finale,
45:50I can push for a prank,
45:51everyone!
