Communities in Eastern Spain have been devastated by flooding that's killed at least 158 people.

Rescuers are now searching for bodies.

The Valencia region has been the hardest hit, with widespread destruction to roads and railways.

Europe correspondent Vincent McAviney told Ryan Bridge there were some warnings about strong rainfall.

But, he says, people are saying there should've been more of a response when the rain fell, to alert people to get off the roads and get to higher ground.

McAviney says the region had been experiencing a severe drought for months, and water was unable to seep into the hard, dry earth.
