A powerful storm has flooded resorts and roads on the Spanish island of Lanzarote, causing widespread damage to the tourist island. Shocking footage captured by tourists shows water flooding streets and homes. Several hotels have been left without power, and services across the island have been disrupted by the heavy rain, which one British tourist described as "Armageddon".
A video posted by a tourist at a hotel showed the dire situation due to the bad weather.
Due to the heavy rain, local authorities declared a state of emergency, while tourists have been warned of bad weather for the coming days, with isolated rain and storms.
The extreme weather affected the city of Arrecife and several other areas of the island, causing sewer systems to overflow and a strong smell from the raw water. Emergency services have been called in to help clear roads and evacuate people from affected areas.
