Sevilla has closed the Triana floodgates for the second time in history to prevent flooding from the Guadalquivir River. The city council activated the defense wall's infrastructure, installed in 2011, as a precautionary measure due to forecasts of rising river levels. Strong winds from a storm also caused debris to fall from the Giralda tower, leading police to cordon off an area in Plaza Virgen de los Reyes.
