Трагедия в Португалии: ураганные ветры причинили огромный ущерб

Reviews of weather events, natural disasters, astronomical phenomena and wildlife around the world Hurricane-force winds with gusts of up to 40-42 meters per second, torrential rains, and a sharp deterioration in weather conditions caused by Storm Kristin dealt a severe blow to the central and northern regions of Portugal. The hardest-hit areas were Leiria, Coimbra, Lisbon, the Setúbal Peninsula, the Lezíria do Tejo region, and Aveiro. The consequences of the storm were tragic: at least five people died as a result of the severe weather, and dozens were injured. Falling trees, collapsed buildings, and traffic accidents were the main causes of death and injury. Significant damage was caused to infrastructure and businesses. In the district of Coimbra, the Bissaia-Barreto Municipal Airport suffered significant damage. Strong winds overnight damaged several aircraft and a maintenance hangar. Damage to the airport alone exceeded 10 million euros, one of the most glaring examples of the economic losses caused by the storm. Storm Kristin also caused widespread power outages. Around a million customers across the country were left without power due to downed power lines and damaged equipment. Telecommunications infrastructure was also severely impacted. The storm that hit the country left several municipalities without communications. Vodafone confirmed damage to mobile and fixed-line infrastructure, including numerous downed fiber-optic cables. The storm's aftermath closed schools, disrupted rail and road service, and left many roads littered with fallen trees and debris. In coastal areas, strong swells in the Atlantic Ocean led to the suspension of port operations and restricted shipping.
