The Spanish Meteorology Agency (Aemet) – which depends on the Ministry for Ecological Transition – informed the Valencian Generalitat that the Dana would evolve to the Serranía de Cuenca the tragic afternoon of October 29, when the flood reaped 228 lives. This is shown by a report of the Sub -Directorate of Autonomous Emergencies incorporated into the cause that investigates the greatest flood of the history known in Valencia and instructs the judge of Catarroja (Valencia) Nuria Ruiz Tobarra.
The document, to which the country has had access, includes a telephone conversation between representatives of the AEMET and the Emergency Department of the Generalitat at 9.43 hours of the day of the tragedy. The talk was developed in these terms:
Emergencies: “Ok, do you have a foresight that (the storm) rises for Castellón, really some orange?”
Aemet: “Let’s see, it is more towards the interior, it is worth. A little more towards the Serranía de Cuenca that is the possible that will then go to red. It seems, is it worth it? Just like at 12 at night it changes to the Teruel area. The same orange is not discharge, but it is not what has worried us so far.”
The same day, at 16.16, representatives of the state agency and the Valencian agency maintain another conversation that touches the same issue.
Aemet: “Ok, then right now I am looking at the radar and electrical discharges and I am seeing that in the last hour the number of electrical discharges has decreased, this can indicate that the intensity of the precipitation is decreasing at this time, I will consult the latest versions of the models to see what prediction they give for the next few hours. I will see the model of six in the morning, now they are 16 to 18 to 18 to 18. to the northwest ”.
Emergencies: “Yeah”.
Aemet: “And from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. the maximum intensity is already in the mountain range of Cuenca towards the plateau.”
Emergencies: “Well”.
Aemet: “And inside the province of Valencia it continues to rain, but with strong, but not torrential intensity, what happens is that you add liters to those who have already accumulated.”
He President Carlos Mazón gave a press conference on the morning of October 29 in which he pointed out that the cold drop was moving to the Serranía de Cuenca. He pointed out that about six o’clock in that day, the temporary will love. Just at that time, dozens of people were missing, trapped as animals in garages and low plants or directly died as a result of the overflow of the Poyo ravine, trigger for the tragedy.
