"The most complicated is yet to come". Government crisis cabinet monitors effects of depression Charles

The Portuguese government is in crisis mode due to Storm Charlie, which has led to significant disruptions, including 360 flight cancellations and road restrictions. The storm's peak is expected to occur between 11 AM and 3 PM, with warnings issued across various districts. The situation in Madeira has seen over 134 incidents, primarily flooding and fallen trees, although the impact was less severe than anticipated. Authorities are urging citizens to stay indoors and prepare for potential power outages. While some restrictions have been lifted, the situation remains fluid, and further measures may be necessary as conditions evolve.
