Residents look at cars piled up after being swept away by floods in Valencia, Spain, Wednesday.

The Spanish government has declared three days of mourning after flash flooding in the eastern part of the country has left at least 158 people dead.

Officials say torrential rains that started Tuesday and continued into Wednesday submerged villages, cut off roads and caused problems with the telecommunications. There are reports of flooding in southern and eastern Spain.
