Airport roof collapses as Spain hit by powerful earthquake
Spain has been rocked by a 5.5 magnitude earthquake just hours after the country was devastated by flash flooding and heavy rain. The earthquake hit southern Spain, including popular tourist hotspots Costa del Sol and Alicante, at around 7am on Monday. In Almeria, an airport roof collapsed after the quake rattled hundreds of towns, with a car showroom also damaged by the tremors. An airport worker told local media: 'We heard some noises one after the other and then a loud bang and a great cloud of dust appeared. 'It was a real scare for us. There were airport workers having their first coffee of the day but luckily no one was injured.' Spanish newspaper El País reported that Granada, Malaga and Jaen, along with Murcia, Alicante and Albacete in the east, were among the hardest-hit areas. In Huercal de Almeria, a Toyota showroom was damaged. A picture showed the ceiling caved in as it was taped off.
