At least five people are killed as Storm Adam floods eastern Spain and helicopters pluck residents from rooftops

Pego in Alicante province was drenched with 632mm of rain in just 36 hours. In Oliva, among the worst-hit towns, a 79-year-old woman was found dead in her home and a man suffered a fatal heart attack at a campsite. Spain's Civil Guard evacuated more than 2,000 people, mostly from Oliva. Around 800,000 residents were ordered to shelter indoors on Monday morning.

The deluge revives memories of the Valencia floods that killed more than 230 people.

In Els Poblets, floodwater piled cars and vans on top of one another.
