“Between 00:00 and 06:00 today, 86 incidents were recorded, 68 of which were floods of roads, garages, elevator shafts, but without causing victims or displaced persons,” Pedro Araújo, from the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority (ANEPC), told Lusa.

The most affected regions were Greater Lisbon, the Setúbal Peninsula, and the West, the source said, specifying that 43 incidents were recorded in Setúbal, 19 in Greater Lisbon, and 13 in the West.

Of the 86 incidents recorded, mainly between 3 am and 6 am today, 68 were floods, six were fallen trees, and four were landslides.

“In these incidents, 184 personnel were deployed, with the support of 56 resources,” said Pedro Araújo.

According to the GNR (National Republican Guard), the bad weather made several national roads impassable, especially in the districts of Lisbon, Setúbal, and Marvão (Portalegre).

According to the source, at 8:15 am, traffic was flowing normally on most of the country's main (IP) and complementary (IC) roads.

Mainland Portugal and the Madeira archipelago have been affected since Wednesday by the effects of Storm Claudia, with heavy rain, wind, and strong sea conditions, according to the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA).

The IPMA has raised the warning level from orange to red, the most severe, for rain that is sometimes heavy and persistent until 9:00 AM today.
