Another Odd Tornado Disaster Location: Portugal

Damage left behind after a tornado killed an elderly woman
and injured several others recently in southern Portugal

Earlier this month it was Brazil, now it's Portugal. 

As in Brazil, a destructive, deadly tornado hit a campsite in Albulfeira, Portugal.  Numerous trees fell in the campsite, including one that killed an 85 year-old woman from Britain. The tornado seriously injure two other people  and caused minor injuries to about 20. 

Alburfeira is on the central southern coast of Portugal. Video showed what appeared to be a partly rain-wrapped tornado moving through an area that seems like a very nice tourist district. 

 The tornado was part of a larger system, dubbed Storm Claudia, which caused serious flooding in northern Portugal and in  Great Britain. 

Two people were reported killed by the flooding in northern Portugal

Severe flooding also hit southeast Wales, near the English border, where as much as 4.7 inches of rain fell.

The town of Monmouth, Wales was inundated as the River Monnow rose to a record high level. Other flooding was reported in other parts of England and in Ireland. 

There's been a spate of tornadoes in places that historically do get tornadoes. But the recent twisters have been unusually deadly and destructive. 

Earlier this month, a strong tornado killed six people, injured about 750 and essentially leveled a large town in the southern Brazilian state of Parana.

In October, another strong tornado swept through Ermont, France, a city about 13 miles north of Paris, killing one person, injuring several others and causing widespread damage.
