14.11.2024The day DANA returned with empty threats
The second DANA storm system approached Valencia with red alerts, prompting emergency preparations and school closures. By morning, authorities had already begun downgrading alerts as the storm proved less severe than feared.

New evidence emerged contradicting PP's crisis management narrative, with reports of 62 warning messages sent to Emergency Services while Mazón attended a lunch. The Júcar Confederation's early warnings between 16:00 and 17:00 further undermined the regional government's position.

By afternoon, both Valencia and Málaga began returning to normalcy, with high-speed rail connections restored. Banks prepared to distribute aid advances to affected residents. The focus shifted to Andalusia as the Guadiaro river threatened new evacuations, though residents were later cleared to return home. Evening reports revealed that over half of the 216 DANA victims were above 70 years old.
