Seville, Spain – Video filmed by Distrito Este Limpio on October 29 captures flash flooding in Seville during heavy rain, posted by @Sevillasucia to mock the mayor’s infrastructure failings.

It opens with a low-angle close-up of a graffiti-marked concrete wall beside a flooded sidewalk where six to eight inches of brown water rush by. Two large brown rats claw upward on the wall, tails whipping as leaves and trash drift past.

The view then moves to a second-story window over a tree-lined street in Distrito Este, near Avenida de las Ciencias, showing one to two feet of murky water under relentless sheets of rain. Willow trees drip, a metal fence and green bins sit half-submerged, a delivery van idles with hazards flashing and water lapping at its tires, and a dark sedan floats nearby.

Close-ups reveal small dark shapes — drowned rats — bobbing among bottles, branches and cardboard; one carcass catches on a tree trunk while others snag on barriers in the current. The scene widens to show floodwater spreading over curbs, grass and parked cars as rain intensifies.

The clip ends with a caption of grim humor: “these rats didn’t have the same luck. RIP.”
