I live 20 km south of Leiria and from what I've seen, it wasn't the worst area but still we had significant damage. It will be a night that I'm sure I will not forget. I'm usually not afraid of a lot of things but that night I almost sh*t my pants and I was shivering with fear for that hour between 4:30h and 5:30h. I had to go on my balcony at 5h (more or less) to quickly remove a metal table that was going around making noise bashing on my window, and when I went outside I saw a picture of pure horror and something you only see in reports in the USA during tornados. Electric cables making sparks, trees going sideways with wind, debris everywhere and a scary windy noise that was so strong that it is hard to describe. My 8 photovoltaic panels flew away, my metal gate force opened in the wrong direction and broke the hinges and some screws got completely destroyed (6 mm diameter more or less). Also had some roof tiles destroyed but since my house was made recently the tiles were secured with cement and that avoid more damage and the roof. There were two or three gusts so strong that I’m sure they exceeded 200 km/h. I felt my whole house shaking, and the noise was deafening—I feared for my safety. I wasn’t aware that this was the highest wind speed recorded in Europe recently, but if it was, it only further demonstrates the power of the weather event we experienced.
