Dawn reveals trail of destruction in Ponta Delgada

A house was dragged, several roads collapsed, the cemetery was practically unrecognizable. It was this bleak scenario that the daylight of this First Octave came to expose in Ponta Delgada.

Since yesterday, several teams have been on the ground, trying to restore normal road connections, but the situation is not easy. There is a lot of inert material and a lot of mud.

The Regional Road that connects ‘Corte do Norte’ to the parish of Boaventura partially collapsed.

The same happened with the only road that allows access to Lombadas, where a support wall collapsed.

In Via Expresso, the accumulated material makes the passage difficult, leaving the parish of Boaventura isolated.
