In February of 2009 Madeira was struck by sudden floods after being deluged by rain over the winter months. Tragically many lives were lost, and many parts of the island were cut off, but with the resiliance, compassion and determination of the local people, joined forces and worked hard to get services and the damaged areas back to full working order.
As a tribute and having been asked to show these photos again, we have dedicated this page to all those families who lost their loved ones and to the people who worked so hard to get the island back up and running again.
