Regional Azores »September 3, 2015

The bad weather that hit the northeast of the county, the island of Sao Miguel, Azores, on the last morning caused damage to 21 houses and eight families will sleep today outside the home, said the mayor.

Carlos Mendonça told Lusa that these families “difficult situation” have all been rehoused temporarily, with relatives, some for security reasons, as it continues to rain and the weather has extended the warning Orange until Friday morning.

As for roads, the mayor said that there is no isolated population at this point in the county, as came to fruition during the last morning, and the cleaning and removal of inert are taking place.

In the case of regional road, said he remains cut and with a broken leg, “there is still much to do”, there is no predicting when finished cleaning work.

As for the municipal road that serves as an alternative, the aggregates were removed, but “it’s not advisable to” use, for not having “security guarantees” due to the fall of a slope, in place of quarry.

The Northeast of the county was the most affected by the bad weather that hits the Azores since Wednesday, with the archipelago come to be under red notice meteorology (the most severe) until this morning.

The Azorean civil protection registered over thirty occurrences in the last dawn related to the rain.

Throughout this day, there has been no recurrence, said Lusa source of Service Regional Civil Protection and Fire of the Azores.

The archipelago remains under orange warning (the least severe second) until Friday morning because of the rain.
