Storm Leonardo Causes Death, Evacuations, and Missing Person in Spain and Portugal

Heavy flooding caused by Storm Leonardo resulted in one death in Portugal and the search for a missing girl in Spain, authorities reported on Thursday, February 5, 2026. The storm brought torrential rain and strong winds to the Iberian Peninsula, leading to widespread evacuations and infrastructure damage.

In Portugal's southern Alentejo region, a man, believed to be about 70 years old, died after his car was swept away by floodwaters, according to Sky News. Meanwhile, in Spain, Civil Guard officers were searching for a woman near Malaga who was believed to have fallen into a swollen river while trying to cross it, Euronews reported.

The storm forced the evacuation of around 4,000 people in Andalusia, Spain, Euronews stated. The village of Grazalema in Cadiz experienced severe flooding after receiving more than 600 liters of rain per square meter in just 36 hours, according to AEMET, the Spanish meteorological agency. Videos showed water rushing through the streets of Grazalema as rivers burst their banks.

Schools were closed, and rail and road links were suspended in several areas of Andalusia. Police in Cadiz waded through waist-deep water to rescue people trapped in an abandoned building, Euronews reported. Storm Leonardo is the latest in a series of storms to impact the Iberian Peninsula, causing significant disruption and damage.
