GOIDI, A YEAR: A CHRONOLOGY OF THE DAY WHEN EVERYTHING FAILED
The fateful morning of 29 October began with heavy rains and several alerts from the meteorological services, but neither the institutions nor the citizens were able to foresee how difficult the situation would be.
It is one year since the tragedy that left 229 dead in the Valencian Community. Despite the weather forecasts of the first hour of 29 October, the protocols failed and the scale of the tragedy exceeded all forecasts.
This is the chronology of the day the GOIDI burst:

AEMEThadpreviously planned rains, but at this exact time, around 06:40 hours, it updated the orange alert and the Port Authority ordered the port to close . Shortly afterwards, at 07:30 hours, it raised the red warning level to the north. From then on, the agency gradually extended the red alert to more parts of Valencia and began to accumulate storm water.
