The woman who died in the storm had gone with her husband and daughter to watch basketball and was dragged by the river on the way out.

Mourning in the Barcelona town of Cabrera de Mar. This Sunday morning, emergency teams located the lifeless body of the woman who disappeared this Saturday in the municipality after being swept away by a flood. As detailed by the Firefighters of Catalonia, the body was located around 11:00 a.m. about six kilometers from where he was last seen.

The events occurred this Saturday around 7:30 p.m. when the woman was walking with her husband and two children in the area of ​​the Cabrera municipal pavilion, located in the vicinity of the stream and where the family had gone to watch a basketball game. As the mayor of Cabrera, Óscar Fernández, explained, while the sporting event was taking place, a warning of torrential rain was given in the municipality, so all attendees were asked not to leave the facilities.

Despite this, the councilor said, "some people" decided to leave the pavilion at a time when about 60 liters per square meter were falling in the city in 40 minutes. Among them was the family, who was walking along a street flooded with water when the woman fell into a river and was then swept away by the force of the water.

After finally locating his body, Fernández has confirmed that the body has been found in the port of Premià, on the breakwater, and has expressed the condolences of his City Council. Furthermore, he took the opportunity to call on citizens to heed the alerts issued by the Generalitat and the city councils: "A downpour cannot be underestimated and a stream can have fatal consequences like the ones we have seen today," he added.

The mayor has announced that there will be a day of mourning after what happened and that a minute of silence will be held both in Cabrera and in the municipality of Malgrat de Mar, where the victim was a neighbor. Up to 18 fire crews worked in the search for the woman during the night of Saturday and the early morning and morning hours of Sunday. These units have been supported by the local Police, the Mossos and Maritime Rescue.
