Unless you live in Portugal, you most likely have not heard or read about Storm Kristin that hit the country around 3:00 am on January 28th. With wind speeds up to 125 mph (202 kph) the storm resulted in massive damage including toppled power lines, trees, buildings, and severe flooding. Six people lost their lives, and power was out to around one million customers across eight districts.
