The president Miguel Albuquerque is on his way to Canhas (Ponta do Sol) where a large fire is reported, people have also heard large explosions in the area.
More updates on this as it comes in.
Heavy traffic on the motorways into Funchal this morning as people look at the smoke billowing from the hillsides of the city.
Tobi the heavy traffic was because the M'way was closed after junction 12 - I know because I was in the jam and eventually turned round and went home as what I was going to do can wait for another day when the fire is out that is if the wind will eventually go away. The wind is not a fierce in Gauls as it was yesterday so hopefully some planes will land.
ReplyDeleteMy friends are staying in Canhas. Has the fire definitely spread to there? I was told it was 30 minutes from Funchal - away from the fire.
