Portugal’s Met Office (IM) kept the Algarve on ‘Orange Alert’ for most of Saturday, (17 November) after a freak tornado, which gained mass strength out at sea, ripped through the counties of Lagoa and Silves on Friday.

Thirteen people from Lagoa were injured during yesterday’s unprecedented storm, three of whom seriously, and the cost of the damage caused by the bad weather is still being calculated.

The tornado’s ramifications reached far across the Algarve and clean-up operations were ongoing for most of the weekend in several counties.
