Spain mourned at least 158 deaths in flood-hit eastern and southern regions* as authorities told people to stay at home with hopes of finding survivors fading three days after the disaster.

An exceptionally *powerful Mediterranean storm unleashed heavy rains and torrents of mud-filled water* on Tuesday that swept away people and wrecked homes, with the eastern Valencia region hit hardest.

The body *coordinating rescue work in the Valencia region announced 155 bodies had been recovered* there by Thursday afternoon.

*The government on Friday sent an extra 500 troops to the stricken areas* to bolster the 1,200 already on site for search, rescue and logistics tasks.

*Some cut-off areas remain without water, food or power* and many roads and rail lines remain inaccessible, raising fears the death toll will climb.
