The Matías family in Valencia experienced tragedy during the floods, with Victor Matías losing his two young sons, Izan and Rubén, in the devastating deluge. The family home was destroyed, and the boys’ bedroom door was one of the few things left intact. Victor was found clinging to a tree after the water dragged them outside, and he had to make the heartbreaking decision to let go of his sons to save himself. The boys were described as happy and carefree, enjoying their safe playground of a home and garden. The house, built by a man named Javi, was a paradise for the family until the storm hit. The proximity of a lorry park next to their home played a deadly role in the tragedy, with a truck hitting the back of the house and the force of the water tearing everything away. The grief of the Matías family is shared by many in the Valencia region, where the flash floods claimed the lives of at least 219 people and left more than 90 missing.
