Storm Leonardo is the latest in a series of half a dozen storms to hit the Iberian Peninsula this year, causing fatalities, infrastructure damage, and power outages. A man died in Portugal after floodwaters swept his car off a road, and a girl is missing in Spain after being swept away by a river. Storm Marta is expected to arrive this weekend, with reconstruction efforts estimated at over 4 billion euros following Storm Kristin. Residents in affected areas are facing waist-deep water, submerged terraces, and overflowing rivers and dams, with emergency services attending to over a million incidents in Andalusia alone.
