Valencia, Spain — Torrential rains have unleashed chaos in Spain's eastern Valencia region, leading to devastating floods that have claimed the lives of 51 people. 
Emergency services are in a race against time, working tirelessly to rescue those trapped by the surging waters. 
\"It's like something out of a disaster movie,\" said local resident Maria Gonzalez, who was evacuated from her home. 
The sudden downpour began on Tuesday night, overwhelming rivers and leading to flash floods that swept through towns and villages. Roads have turned into rivers, and many buildings are submerged.

The Spanish government has pledged support and is coordinating with local authorities to provide relief and resources. 
Our thoughts are with the people of Valencia during this challenging time. Stay safe, everyone!
