In Brief

Heavy rain and thunderstorms in the Azores forced the evacuation of 67 people from a campsite on Terceira. Seven incidents were reported, including floods on São Miguel and São Jorge.

Severe weather, with heavy rain and thunderstorms, has been affecting the Azores since Wednesday night, leading to the evacuation of 67 people from a campsite in Praia da Vitória on Terceira Island. According to the regional civil protection service, seven incidents were recorded, including floods on São Miguel and São Jorge, flooding of homes, a partial road collapse, and a landslide on a regional road in São Jorge. The campsite in Praia da Vitória has been rendered unusable.

The evacuees have been accommodated in the parking lot of the local vocational school. According to Mayor Vânia Ferreira, returning to the site is only possible after an assessment of the soil condition. Some of the evacuees, who are local residents, have already been picked up by their parents. The bad weather also damaged some festive structures, and restoration work is underway.

The Central and Eastern island groups are under an orange weather warning, the second most severe on a three-level scale. A yellow wind warning is also in effect.

Viana rejects extension of '21st-century campsite' contract

The Viana do Castelo municipality rejected on Tuesday a request by FeelEverywhere to extend the concession from 20 to 25 years for a new tourism project on the site of the former Orbitur campsite in Cabedelo, Darque. It also refused a request to defer rent payments of 12,500 euros per month until operations begin. The project, aimed at caravanning and glamping, has seen its investment rise from 2.9 million to 4 million euros, with plans to increase jobs from 22 to 32 and motorhome pitches from 37 to 42. The refusal is based on the lack of construction work on site; the request will be reconsidered once work starts.

The safety car reported that the vehicle was removed before the stage was allowed to begin, and all safety conditions are now met. Despite fog in the Santana area, the safety car official said weather conditions should not affect the drivers' performance.
