Mud torrent kills 40 on Portuguese tourist island
Troops and rescuers dug through mud-filled houses and streets on the Portuguese tourist island of Madeira on Sunday after flash floods unleashed brown torrents which killed at least 40 people.
Mud torrent kills 40 on Portuguese tourist island
Portugal rushed medical teams, rescuers, divers and relief supplies to the Atlantic island. But morgue pathologists were also sent in a grim warning that more bodies would be found in the mud that swept people off their feet as they tried to escape.
The rains ended revealing scenes of devastation in the capital, Funchal, with cars overturned and roofs ripped off buildings.
Power and telephone lines were torn down but flights to the international airport restarted from the Portuguese mainland, 900 kilometres (560 miles) to the northeast.
The regional government gave a new toll of at least 40 dead and 70 people detained in hospital.
Officials said that no foreign tourists were among the dead, but the British Foreign Office said it was "urgently investigating" reports that a Briton was missing.
London said earlier it was providing consular assistance to a "small number" of Britons in hospital on the island.
Seventeen dead were found in Madeira's main city, Funchal. Its mayor, Miguel Albuquerque, told reporters: "It is very probable that we will find more bodies."
At the height of the storm, authorities transmitted emergency messages urging people not to risk their lives by venturing out into the torrents of muddy water that poured down the hillsides and out of alleys.
Winds exceeding 100 kilometres (60 miles) an hour, high seas and blocked roads made rescue attempts even more dangerous for emergency services.
One elderly woman died when the roof of her Funchal house caved in and two others were crushed by a falling crane, local media reported.
"I only know what I see from my window," Funchal resident Margarida Freitas Vieira told the Lusa news agency describing the disaster. "The sea is all brown, there are enormous waves."
The mud filled some homes up to the second floor and the rescue teams from mainland Portugal were put to work clearing out the stricken buildings.
Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates went to Funchal on Saturday night and promised "all necessary aid so that Madeira can immediately start the work of recuperating."
Football star Cristiano Ronaldo, Madeira's most famous native, said he was in shock at the disaster and promised help for relief efforts.
"It is a huge catastrophe, a tragedy without precedent," said the world's most expensive footballer, who was born in a poor district of Funchal. "No-one can remain indifferent to a calamity of such huge proportions, least of all me who was born and grew up in Madeira."
The damage was concentrated around Funchal and the Ribeira Brava region, both on the south of Madeira.
The Portuguese naval frigate Corte-Real set off from Lisbon for Madeira late Saturday with helicopters, a medical team and relief supplies, a military statement said.
Two helicopters and two C-130 Hercules transport aircraft were en route along with 89 police and firefighters.
The head of the regional government held talks late Saturday with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in a bid to get EU aid.
Madeira authorities appealed for doctors and other medical staff to come in to help relieve the pressure on overworked hospital staff. They opened up a military garrison to house about 100 of the 250 people left homeless.
Officials evacuated the lower part of Funchal, which has 100,000 of the 250,000 who live on Madeira.
Portuguese media said the storms were the deadliest in Madeira since October 1993, when eight people died. Prime Minister Jose Socrates expressed shock at the deaths and promised support for the islanders.

The death toll in flash floods on the Portuguese holiday island of Madeira rose to at least 42 as search teams began digging for survivors and environmentalists blamed greed and overbuilding for the scale of the tragedy.
Army and police rescue teams from mainland Portugal started sifting through mud and debris left behind by flooding and mudslides after a torrential storm ravaged the island on Saturday.
Authorities warned that the death toll in the island's worst tragedy for a century would increase as rescuers travelled to towns and villages cut off by floods and rockfalls. Several villages remained inaccessible yesterday and telephone services were still cut in some areas.
More than 120 people, including visiting tourists, were injured and an unknown number of others were missing, possibly swept away or smothered. The Foreign Office tonight confirmed that a Briton had died following the flooding.
Dozens killed in Madeira storms
February 21, 2010
A police officer looks on as a man is helped across a street during floods in downtown Funchal, Madeira.
Violent rainstorms killed at least 32 people on the Portuguese Atlantic island of Madeira on Saturday, a senior official said, as Lisbon mulled declaring an emergency and seeking European help.
"We already have 32 fatalities and 68 injured, all of them in hospital," Joao Cunha e Silva, the vice-president of the island's government, told the private Sic Noticias television channel.
The Portuguese naval frigate Corte-Real set off from Lisbon on Saturday night with helicopters, a medical team and relief supplies for Madeira, the armed forces said in a statement.
Also en route were two helicopters and two C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. A rescue team of 56 gendarmes and 36 firefighters was to depart Lisbon for the island's main city of Funchal on Sunday morning.
Interior Minister Rui Pereira said: "We are studying the possibility of declaring a state of emergency and then seeking help from the European Union."
The island's airport was closed and Funchal mayor Miguel Albuquerque advised residents to stay at home.
The overnight strong winds and heavy rain caused flooding and landslides, particularly in the south of Madeira, a resort island located 900 kilometres southwest of the Portuguese mainland.
Winds exceeding 100kmh, high seas and blocked roads had made things more difficult for emergency services, though weather forecasters said the worst was over for the island, some 500kms from the African coast.
Electricity and telephone networks were severed in many areas.
In Funchal, an elderly woman died when the roof of her house caved in and two others were crushed by a crane, local media reported. Several residents were evacuated from their homes.
"It had been raining since dawn and our hotel was evacuated as it is near a river in the city centre," said Aymeric Payan, a French hotel employee in Funchal.
Portuguese news media said the storms were the deadliest in Madeira since October 1993, when eight people died.
Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates, expressing shock, promised support for the islanders.

More dead expected from deadly flooding in Madeira
Troops and other rescue workers spent Sunday digging through mud-filled houses and streets after the flash floods' torrents of brown water swept some people to their death, demolished houses and overturned cars.
The government in Lisbon has rushed medical teams, rescue teams including divers and sniffer dogs and relief supplies to the Atlantic island.
And the country's cabinet is expected to announce three days of national mourning at a special meeting Monday in Lisbon, government sources said.
Morgue pathologists on Madeira meanwhile sent a grim warning that more bodies would be found in the mud that swept people off their feet as they tried to escape.
And in Madeira's main city, Funchal, mayor Miguel Albuquerque told reporters: "It is very probable that we will find more bodies."
The heavy rains ended Sunday, revealing scenes of devastation in the capital, Funchal, with cars overturned and roofs ripped off buildings.
Power and telephone lines were torn down but flights to the international airport restarted from the Portuguese mainland, 900 kilometres (560 miles) to the northeast.
The disruption to phone lines had made it difficult to establish how many people needed to be rescued because many of them just could not be contacted, Madeira's social issues affairs secretary Francisco Ramos told reporters.
The regional government gave a new toll of at least 42 dead and more than 120 people injured, including a few British nationals.
Late Sunday Britain's Foreign Office said one Briton was among those killed, the first confirmed death of a foreign national in the disaster.
A shopping centre in Funchal was completely destroyed and firefighters feared there were likely people trapped in an underground parking lot which was still under water.
A morgue has been set up at the airport, where one local official said they had not yet been able to identify all the bodies.
At the height of the storm, the authorities put out emergency messages urging people not to risk their lives by venturing out into the torrents of muddy water that poured down the hillsides and out of alleys.
Winds exceeding 100 kilometres (60 miles) an hour, high seas and blocked roads made rescue attempts even more dangerous for emergency services.
The mud filled some homes up to the second floor and the rescue teams from mainland Portugal were put to work clearing out the stricken buildings.
Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Socrates went to Funchal on Saturday night and promised "all necessary aid" to help Madeira recover from the disaster.

The head of the regional government held talks late Saturday with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso in a bid to get EU aid.
Neighbouring Spain and its Canary Islands have also offered to send aid.
Officials on the island have opened a military garrison to house about 100 of the 250 people left homeless.
Officials evacuated the lower part of Funchal, which has 100,000 of the 250,000 who live on Madeira.

Imprensa destaca Madeira apesar do apelo de Jardim
Apesar do apelo do presidente do Governo regional da Madeira para haver "cuidado com as dramatizações" para o exterior, os meios de comunicação internacionais destacam hoje a grave situação da Madeira...
Despacho desmente comunicado do PGR
Presidente da Câmara do Funchal “teme que haja mais mortos
Presidente da Câmara do Funchal “teme muito” que haja mais mortos
O presidente da Câmara Municipal do Funchal, Miguel Albuquerque, disse esta tarde “temer muito” que o número de vítimas mortais “venha a aumentar”.
Diz rangel:-"Não é apetitoso ser PM na situação actual".Pronto ficamos a saber o que ele não quer ser quando for grande.
Rangel decidiu falar e falou bem.
Disse daquilo que pensa sobre o que compensa e o que não. Pelos vistos para ele não compensa o cargo de primeiro ministro. Diz ele que é cargo pouco apetitoso e compreende-se nisto de política há o que é apetitoso e o que não é.
Apetitoso - é um adjectivo com o seu interesse e deve ser estudado com alguma atenção; já que se presta -como quase tudo nesta nossa tão traiçoeira língua portuguesa , a mais do que um entendendimento daquilo que ao apetite diz respeito.Disse daquilo que pensa sobre o que compensa e o que não. Pelos vistos para ele não compensa o cargo de primeiro ministro. Diz ele que é cargo pouco apetitoso e compreende-se nisto de política há o que é apetitoso e o que não é.
1. Que desperta o apetite; tentador; saboroso.
2. Cobiçoso.
3. Supérfluo.
E deste discurso palavroso de rangel muita conclusão se pode retirar em relação ao que para ele será ou não importante neste momento. Claro que numa primeira leitura se pode concluir que o cargo de primeiro ministro não lhe apetece assim tanto como poderia dar a entender o facto de ter decidido apresentar-se como candidato á direcção do Psd que é em principio o cargo para onde correm os que desejam dirigir os destinos da nação.
Poderia concluir-se desta falta de apetite que a causa fosse apenas o maus estado da nação e os inúmeros problemas causados pela crise interna e externa.
Mas podemos também cncluir pela prestimosa ajuda que a própria palavra escolhida nos dá ; que a rangel o cargo não interessa porque não lhe atribui importância, como indica o facto de a essa palavra se poder também atribuir o sentido de supérfluo.
Ora o cargo de primeiro ministro será supérfluo para todos aqueles que não recohecem a legítimidade do regime democrático em que vivemos e se formos por aí , ficaremos naquele de duvidar sobre o tipo de apetites sentidos ou não pelo candidato que começou por nos insultar a todos no parlamento europeu, desprestigiando tanto as intituições nacionais como o povo português.
Ora se ao candidato rangel lhe anda a faltar o apetite para o cargo de Primeiro ministro, seria bom que algum desses imparciais jornalistas fizesse o favor de o quetionar sobre os aptetiites que sente enquanto se vai lançando contra o interesse dos portugueses que no entretanto lá lhe vão pagando o ordenado para os represente.
Porque isto é assim; se ao sr lhe falta o apetite para representar o povo , porque carga de água decidiu então candidatar-se a chefe do seu partido?
Se como ele diz:-".... esta é uma motivação importante do ponto de vista interior, de vocação, de serviço cívico, de querer prestar um serviço ao País. "- então que raio de motivação é esta? Será que ao rangel apenas motiva o interesse de apanhar tempo de antena para continuar a insultar e a difamar José sócrates com ainda mais impunidade e atenção? Se é apenas disso que se trata bem lhe podia dizer o que pode ele fazer com a tal motivação.
