STORM Aitor has been wreaking havoc in parts of Spain since arriving in full force on Wednesday evening.
Dozens of towns and cities remain on alert today for heavy rainfall and winds of up to 80km/hr, with the weather not expected to settle down until Friday.
The affected areas are mostly in the north and northwest of the country, although rainfall was registered in inland Extremedura and western Andalucia.
All of the Balearic Islands have also been placed on a yellow alert for rough sea conditons.
In footage shared online, several trees were strewn across the ground in Vigo after being uprooted by strong winds.
Elsewhere in Vigo and parts of Galicia, videos show how streets have been turned into rapids due to the severe rainfall.
In some areas cars are seen unable to move due to the muddy water rising above their tyres.
In Vitoria, huge rubbish containers have been blown over by the howling gales.
In Rias Baixas, also in Galicia, a CCTV camera caught the moment huge chunks of hail appeared to batter a field.
