The street of Malaga turns into a river

The video captures the moment people in Malaga struggle to cross a street as water rushes through the street.

The footage was taken at around 1:30 p.m. local time (12:30 GMT) and shows the water gradually gaining speed as it flows down a cobbled street on Calle Alcazabilla.

Spain's civil protection agency sent a mass alert to phones in Malaga province after 10pm local time (9pm GMT) on Tuesday evening, warning of an “extreme risk of rain”.
