Rescue crews worked to evacuate residents of southern Spain on Thursday, January 29, as the Guadalete River in the Cadiz Province flooded following Storm Kristin.

Footage from the Guardia Civil shows crews assisting a person through thigh-deep waters, and crews can later be seen wading through waist-deep flooding.

In a post to X, the agency said its teams had helped evacuate almost 500 people in Las Pachecas, Lomopardo, and San Isidro de Guadalete outside the city of Jerez de la Frontera.
