Military personnel are currently clearing storm damage in Valencia, Spain.

Footage shows members of the FAMET DIVSM using heavy equipment to assist in cleanup efforts in La Torre after severe weather.

The soldiers are seen removing trash, clearing debris from local businesses, and collecting rubble along Avenida Real.

Torrential rains battered Valencia, Spain, in late October. The ensuing floods resulted in more than 200 deaths, with several still missing, after the intense downpours overwhelmed riverbanks, damaged infrastructure, and forced thousands to evacuate.

The freak weather was said to be caused by a phenomenon locally referred to as 'Depresion Aislada en Niveles Altos' or DANA - an air mass that is colder than its surroundings at higher levels. The temperature difference creates an unstable atmosphere that triggers heavy rainfall in a very short period.
