The Onyar River rose to dangerous levels, causing floods in northern Spain during Storm Harry.

Footage shows the river at the entrance to the city of Girona, near Carrer del Carme, on January 20.

The river banks were fully submerged as the swollen flow pushed into nearby streets and other low-lying areas.

Spain's meteorological agency AEMET issued red and orange alerts for Tuesday as Harry battered the country with relentless rain, gale-force winds, and 10-metre swells.

The Canary Islands, Catalonia, Valencia, and Ampurdan were at the highest alert level. Coastal flooding and flash-flood risks prompted ports to restrict ferry operations and led some airlines to cancel inter-island flights as a precaution.
