Muddy cleanup, search efforts continue after deadly floods across Valencia, Spain

More than a week after a weather phenomenon called DANA triggered flash flooding in Spain, volunteers and troops continue to work through debris and clean up mud. Search crews are working to locate missing persons, and in areas like Chiva, time is of the essence because when the ground hardens, scent trails disappear, lowering the chances of dogs being able to find any buried victims.
