At least two dead as heavy rainfall triggers flash floods in Spain

At least two people have died after heavy rains lashed Spain, triggering flash floods that forced the closure of Madrid metro lines and high-speed rail links.
Helicopters were sent to rescue people who had sought refuge on the roofs of their homes in Toledo, about 50km (31 miles) southwest of Madrid, on Monday.
The sudden downpours on Sunday and Monday transformed streets into rivers of mud that swept away cars and rubbish bins in Madrid, Castilla-La Mancha, Catalonia and Valencia regions.
