Piles of hail, flash floods and a tornado hits Spain

The Spanish subway department declared several metro stations and highways closed because of the destructive impact of the weather. But Madrid wasn't the only city to be affected by the intense weather – about 300 miles (500km) south, an ominous tornado hovered over the town of Campillos
