Spain’s catastrophic floods have left behind staggering devastation and despair. But the numbers associated with the tragedy can also help grasp the scope of the natural disaster.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced the first financial package for victims of the storms that killed more than 200 people in the country’s eastern region of Valencia.

Spain has a long history of severe autumn storms, with this event drawing comparisons to historic floods, including the La Riada in 1957 and the Pantanada de Tous in 1982. The 1957 flood in Valencia, for example, resulted in the loss of over 80 lives and billions of dollars in economic damage (adjusted for inflation).
