Storm Brings Catastrophic Flooding to Southern Alentejo Region

The Portuguese government has extended its state of calamity due to unprecedented flood risks, echoing the devastating floods of 2017. Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has declared a state of emergency in 69 municipalities until mid-February, citing high alert warnings on six major rivers, including the treacherous Tagus River.

Portugal's ancient rivers have long been a testament to the country's complex history, but in recent days, they've become a deadly force of nature. As torrential rains continue to batter the Iberian Peninsula, one small town has been completely submerged under the deluge, leaving residents struggling for survival and raising concerns about the nation's preparedness for extreme weather events.
