As a result of Leonardo's depression, more than 11,000 people have had to be evicted from their homes throughout Andalusia and one person has died in Malaga da, dragged by the flow of a river.
The president of Andalusia, Juanma Moreno, has called for caution and attention from this Saturday to the citizens in the face of the possibility of heavy rains.
He has pointed out that the land is not capable of so much water and that some rivers and swamps are full, so he has warned that rain of about 30 litres per square metre could "complicate the situation even further."
Although he is now in a state of level 2 emergency, at least until 11 February, Moreno has declared that for his government it is a "red alert" throughout the territory.
Marta
After the passage of Leonardo, Aemet warned yesterday that another blur called Martha would shake the peninsula, with "persistent rainfall" and "very strong winds," especially in the south and east of the peninsula.
According to Aemet, Martha will be dissolved from Sunday 8, as high pressures are expected to settle in the southern part of the peninsula.
One death and 11,000 people out of the house.
The depression Leonardo has lost strength after saying goodbye to the peninsula this Friday, but in Andalusia alone 11,000 people have been evicted, although there is still great concern about the state of the Guadalquivir River and the discovery of a woman's body in Malaga.
In Cadiz, Córdoba, Jaén, Sevilla, Granada, Huelva and Malaga, some 8,000 of which are neighbours of the towns of Jerez de la Frontera, Arcos de la Frontera, Grazalema, El Puerto de Santa María, Puerto Serrano, Los Barrios, San Martín del Tesorillo, Jimena de la Frontera and Genalguacil.
In Jerez (Cadiz), 3,400 people have been evicted, and in Benaojan (Malaga), with 1,400 inhabitants, in the Sierra de Ronda, some 200 neighbours have been evicted because they are in flood areas if the Montejaque dam overflows.
Roads closed.
The storm has forced the authorities to close more than 100 roads , and the rail service has also been severely affected.
Cadiz has been the most affected in this regard, because about 50 roads have been cut there.
