Hello
Have just seen news in the UK which is sating that severe weather has hit Alicante area and floods have occurred. Can anyone advise what it is like in Quesada, specifically in Lo Pepin area please?

I'd have thought one of the fourteen threads on this may give you some idea.
But Lo Pepin, on the outside, is fine as is the rest of Quesada.
Inside the houses I've no idea.
It's those by the Rio Segura that have suffered.

Catral and Dolores are nowhere near the Segura but areas of the former have been evacuated and the latter is mostly knee deep in water.
The trouble with asking about flooding or damage is that it can be highly localised, 100m or less can be the difference between flooded out and dry so just saying so and so area or wherever is not enough to elicit accurate or meaningful info, you have to be more specific.

I'm sorry but I've no idea what any of that was supposed to mean.
ReneW asked about Quesada and, specifically, Lo Pepin so couldn't be more specific than that. I responded for those areas and mentioned the main problems in this area are around the Rio Segura especially Rojales which Quesada comes under.
Dolores and Catral are quite a distance from Quesada and Lo Pepin. I drove through Lo Pepin and, apart from some small puddles, there were no flooded gardens or rivers in the streets hence the response.
I'm sure I could mention places like Oniyent and Orihuela which have been hit hard but they didn't form any part of the original question and, therefore, any part of the response either.

The flooding is generally the vega baja itself - the low fertile plain of the river Segura - so it is the low lands.
Localised initial flooding from the heavy rains has now subsided as the water finds its way down to the river level.
The river breached its banks near Almoradi and flowed all over the area.
This breach has now been plugged, and the river height is being monitored continually - many different helicopters etc. - and river is currently about 8 inches from the top.
Unfortunately they had to open the flood gates of the Santomera dam to prevent it bursting - which would have been a far greater calamity - as it was over 98% full.
The river authority warned it could mean a metre extra height in the river, so not out of the woods yet, but if the river does breach it's banks here, it's likely to be in the area of the school.

Yes, new breach near almoradi
Meanwhile from the police:-
Policía Local Rojales
Es muy triste que los propios vecinos dificulten el trabajo de los servicios de emergencias. Se ruega NO ACUDAN AL LUGAR DONDE SE ESTÁ TRABAJANDO!!.

It is very sad that the neighbors themselves hinder the work of emergency services. Please do not come to the place where thry are working!!.
The presence of pedestrians and curious seriously threatens their own physical integrity since there are a high number of loaded trucks circulating at great speed.
Please leave the area of work and its proximity!!
