British mother and daughter die in Valencia flash flood
By h.b. - Oct 10, 2008 - 12:52 PM
The tragedy happened at L'Olleria when the couple abandoned their car and tried to cross a ravine by foot.
Two British women, a 47 year old mother, Lorraine Cullen, and her 14 year old daughter also called Lauren, have died when crossing a flooded ravine in their car at L’Olleria in Valencia.
When the two women saw they could not get across in their car, they tried on foot with two other British people who managed to survive. One of the survivors is twin sister and daughter to the deceased, she was not seriously hurt.
The tragedy happened at a place known as La Palmera at 8pm last Thursday night, and firemen recovered their bodies in the early hours of Friday morning some 1.5km away from where they had tried to cross the ‘barranco’.
The storms in the Valencia area have dropped 60 litres of water per square metre in an hour, but more than 200 litres per square metre has fallen in the complete storm, causing flooding to tunnels, basements and garages in the city.
Three ferries with more than 400 people on board were stuck at sea unable to dock as the Valencia port was closed on Friday after spending Thursday night on board.
The fire service has rescued about a dozen people because of the adverse weather in the provinces of Valencia and Alicante.

They wasn't in the CAR. They left the car to try and get across to get
home. I know this family and our hearts go out to the family.
