Access roads to the Sintra hills will remain closed to traffic at least until the afternoon to assess the damage caused by the storm, said source of firefighters.
‘The roads will remain severed while account for the damage and assess the risk of trees that can still fall, “explained the operational commander of Sintra firemen, Pedro Ernesto Nunes, who said that only at 14:00 will be assessed the damage in the city.
During the morning will continue work on clearing some roads due to falling trees, fences and poles communications.
‘In the last 72 hours from the orange alert for Civil Protection, there were 476 occurrences in the county, 48 of which involved the use of means of the camera, “said the source of the municipality of Sintra.
In Sintra hills have fallen ‘more than a hundred trees’ and ‘there was also damage to vehicles’, especially in urban areas as a result of “falling trees and signage,” said the same source.
Two people in Rio de Moor had to leave the room, threatened by the danger of falling from a tree, which was supported by another, but “spent the night with relatives,” said a local source.
