Heavy rainfall in Spain has caused flooding so severe it has washed away cars and emergency services have been overwhelmed with calls from panicked residents.

A video circulating on Twitter shows floodwater rushing down a road in Tarragona, Catalonia, high enough in some areas to blow over the tops of parked cars.

In another video, cars were washed down the road by water that was fast and powerful enough to lift and move the vehicles.

The Catalan Meteorological Service reported more than 100 mm (3.9 inches) of rain in the area on Friday, September 23.

Local emergency services said they responded to 759 calls for help this evening, 460 of which related to incidents involving rain.
