TERCEIRA ISLAND, Portugal - Inhabitants of Portugal’s Azores islands, securing their boats to piers and reinforcing shop doors against flooding, were calmly preparing on Tuesday to face hurricane Lorenzo.
“We are already used to events like this happening every now and then - this one is a bit stronger,” 58-year-old Daniel Matos told Reuters as he secured his boat in the town of Angra do Heroismo in the Terceira island. “I’m not a meteorologist but people say it will be very strong,” said boat owner Francisco Reis. “We’ll see if we don’t suffer too much with it.”
The regional government has said schools and non-emergency public services will be closed on Wednesday.
