BARRIO DE LA TORRE, Spain (AP) — Survivors of worst natural disaster to hit Spain this century have awoken to scenes of devastation after villages were wiped out by monstrous flash floods that claimed at least 95 lives. The death toll could rise as search efforts continued Thursday with an unknown number of people still missing. The aftermath looked eerily similar to the damage left by a strong hurricane or tsunami. Wrecked vehicles, tree branches, downed power lines and household items all mired in a layer of mud covered the streets of Utiel, just one of dozens of towns in the hard-hit region of Valencia, where 92 people died between late Tuesday and Wednesday morning.
