00:14Spain's worst floods in decades have left whole neighborhoods covered in mud and strewn
00:18with mangled cars and debris, and more than 200 people have died since Tuesday's floods
00:24and many more are missing.
00:25The King and Queen tried to talk to locals in Paiporta, an outskirt town of Valencia,
00:31a city that has been devastated.
00:33Police had to step in with some officers on horseback to keep back the crowd.
00:37After being forced to seek protection, the King remained calm and made several efforts
00:41to speak to individual residents.
00:44The anger has been fueled by what many have labeled as the inability of officials to respond
00:48quickly to the aftermath.
00:51But after approximately half an hour of tension, the monarchs got in official cars and left
00:55with a mounted police escort.
