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.
