A HOME has been completely destroyed in Marbella following a night of heavy thunder and rain.

Pictures shared on the Marbellasequeja Instagram page show the top half of at least one property completely torn off.

There are no reported injuries following the property’s collapse on Calle Aduar Leganitos last night.

Rubble can be seen taking up the entire street today, with a police cordon sealing off the affected area.

Heavy rainfall sparked by Storm Jana has caused flooding across the Costa del Sol, and the wet weather is only set to continue.

Footage shared online shows towns like Torremolinos completely inundated with flood water, with stairs and roads turned into rapids.

In Velez-Malaga, a family had to be rescued moments before their car was washed away by a torrent of water. Roads across Malaga, Marbella and Estepona have also been flooded.

State weather agency has placed the Costa del Sol and Guadalhorce regions under a yellow for the rest of Monday.
