 Spain 's population , which had been battling fires after a record breaking summer drought , welcomed the rains brought by Vince 's remnants . In two days the storm brought more rain to the province of A Coruña than had fallen all summer , easing the sinking water levels in provincial reservoirs , but also causing traffic jams and minor floods . In Córdoba province , the A @-@ 303 , A @-@ 306 and OC @-@ 293 roads were partially flooded but " passable with caution " . Municipal roadworks on la Ronda de Poniente , a major traffic artery connecting the city to nearby highways , were flooded and partially destroyed . The entrance of the University of A Coruña was temporarily blocked by flood waters on October 11 , and a nearby roundabout was submerged . These damages were minor , and no fatalities were reported . The highest winds reported on land were 48 mph ( 77 km / h ) at Jerez , Spain , although some ships recorded stronger . Vince was comparable to normal rain events from temperate systems , with only 1 to 2 inches ( 25 to 50 mm ) of rain falling . Through a play on words of a song in the musical My Fair Lady , National Hurricane Center forecaster James Franklin in the Tropical Cyclone Report for Vince wrote , " the rain in Spain was mainly less than 2 inches , although 3 @.@ 30 inches ( 84 mm ) fell in the plain at Córdoba .
