A mega-storm named Alice unleashed severe weather on Spain’s Costa Blanca, leaving tourists stranded and disrupting air travel. On October 10, reports indicated that several flights were diverted or canceled due to the storm’s impact. A flight tracking website displayed planes circling Alicante Airport as traffic disruptions worsened. The Spanish Meteorological Agency issued a red alert for heavy rains in the resort city of Alicante.
Social media footage captured the storm’s effects, showing flooded coastal areas and vehicles submerged in water. Earlier, on October 7, Storm Matmo struck Hanoi, Vietnam, marking its second visit to the capital within two weeks. This followed typhoon Bualoy’s passage through northern Vietnam just days prior, which caused $713 million in economic damage.
