The tropical storm Kirk, which hit the Azores archipelago today, caused six incidents, with three recorded on Terceira island, one on São Miguel, one on Faial, and one on Flores, the Azorean Civil Protection said.
In a report made at 18:40 local time (19:40 in Lisbon), the Regional Civil Protection and Fire Service of the Azores (SRPCBA) said that during the afternoon, three incidents were recorded related to two tree falls (in the municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira) and a scaffolding fall (in Ponta Delgada, São Miguel).
The falling structure in São Miguel didn’t cause injuries but “caused damage to two vehicles.”
According to the SRPCBA, Storm Kirk caused three incidents on the islands of Flores, Faial, and Terceira between 00:00 and 12:00 local time.
“It was an uneventful night, with only one minor incident on the island of Flores, at a small wooden stall in the Santa Cruz Municipal Market. This small occurrence was detected by our team on the ground, which was deployed to the island of Flores,” said the SRPCBA’s vice-president, Bruno Nogueira, at a briefing this morning in Angra do Heroísmo.
He said that “two more minor incidents” had been recorded: “a leaning electricity pole” on the island of Faial, which is already “properly limited and being corrected,” and the fall of a tree in Angra do Heroísmo, “with partial obstruction of the road, which has now been completely resolved.”
“It was effectively a calm night,” summed up Bruno Nogueira.
According to the SRPCBA, throughout the day, elements from the fire department, the Municipal Civil Protection Services, the Public Security Police (PSP), the Regional Directorate for Forest Resources, and EDA – Electricity of the Azores – were involved in supporting and resolving the situations recorded in the archipelago.
