This afternoon my phone buzzed very loudly with a red weather warning alert from the government (attached). All schools and public services are closed for the next 2 days. My husband is away with work and I have a 2 and 4 year old. We moved here a month ago and do not have a lot of supplies in, and as it’s Sunday just the small local shop is open. We also don’t know anybody locally so have no immediate support system.
Have I overreacted to have left Valencia and travelled to a relatives in another part of Spain? I’d rather be at home, but went into a panic and was madly packing our suitcases to get out the area. It felt a bit like an Apolcolypse. During the last floods apparently the shops ran out of water and I was worried we could end up trapped with road closures etc.
Have I massively overreacted here?
