Storm Leonardo Leaves One Dead and One Missing as It Batters Iberian Coast

People in boats sail through the streets after storm Leo flooded the streets of Alcacer do Sal, Portugal Storm Leonardo has unleashed powerful winds and torrential rain across Spain and Portugal, leaving one man dead and a woman missing as emergency crews race to contain the damage. Authorities in northern Portugal confirmed that a man lost his life after being swept away by rising floodwaters late Wednesday. In Spain’s Galicia region, search teams are still looking for a woman who disappeared near a swollen river as conditions rapidly deteriorated. The storm has triggered widespread flooding, power outages, and transportation disruptions across both countries. Coastal areas have been hit especially hard, with waves exceeding several meters and forcing the closure of ports and seaside roads. Meteorologists warn that Leonardo will continue to bring hazardous conditions as it moves eastward, urging residents to remain cautious and follow official safety guidance.

Daylight Saving Time: Spring Forward and Lose an Hour of Sleep

 

Did you remember to set your clocks ahead an hour before going to bed last night? The seasonal tradition of “springing forward” meant most people in Canada moved their clocks an hour forward, switching to daylight time. The change happens for much of the country at 2 a.m. local time. Yukon and most of Saskatchewan keep their clocks the same year-round.

Michael Antle, a University of Calgary psychology professor, says the impacts of the time change will be felt for a while. But, he says, people can go to bed a little earlier and give themselves extra time in the morning to help combat sleepiness.

So, as we embrace the longer daylight hours, let’s adjust our internal clocks and make the most of the brighter evenings!
