Heavy rain leaves 2 dead in southern Spain

Madrid, Mar 19 (UNI) A man and his wife have been confirmed dead, and another person remains missing as torrential rain from storm Laurence continues to impact southern Spain, local authorities reported on Wednesday.
Rescue services in the southwestern province of Seville recovered the bodies of the couple on Wednesday after their vehicle was swept away by floodwaters near the municipality of Constantina.
The pair had been reported missing earlier.
Meanwhile, a man in his seventies has been missing since Monday near the city of Cordoba.
The Seville city council activated an emergency plan on Tuesday, placing 14 rivers on red alert for flooding in the provinces of Seville, Cordoba, and Malaga. At least two rivers, the Guadalhorce and Campanillas, overflowed, forcing evacuations in several neighborhoods in Malaga and the nearby town of Cartama.
Storm Laurence is the latest in a series of storms to hit Spain, which has received twice the average monthly rainfall in the first two weeks of March.
