Media reported stories of survivors including the woman trapped in her car in a flooded underpass for 72 hours

“After three days, we found someone alive in their car,” Martín Pérez, the head of Valencia’s civil protection service, told volunteers on Saturday. The announcement prompted hearty applause.
