Hundreds of drivers trapped in their cars in traffic jams stretching for kilometres. Now the TF-324 between Los Realejos and La Orotova is blocked too.
Some people feared trapped in their houses with the downstairs completely flooded. Emergency vehicles even unable to cope with the roads to get to them. Barrancos have overflowed. A La Orotava bombero said they were doing everything they could and more at the moment.
Reinforcement crews have been brought in from Santa Cruz, Icod de los Vinos and San Miguel.
