A British woman has been killed after Storm Claudia winds ripped through a Portuguese holiday campsite.
The 85-year-old had been reported missing at the campsite in Albufeira in the southern region of the Algarve and was later found dead.
Officials confirmed the victim was caught up in the violent winds that tore through the site this morning.
Regional civil protection commander Vitor Vaz Pinto said the storm triggered widespread damage across the area, leaving dozens of people hurt.
Two people suffered serious injuries, while the rest sustained more minor wounds. Those affected include Portuguese, Spanish and the British national.
Portuguese broadcaster SIC described the weather event as an 'extreme wind phenomenon' that struck at around 10am, sending debris flying and causing structural damage across the site.
Portugal’s president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, offered his 'solidarity with the family of the victim who died as a result of Storm Claudia's passage this morning in Albufeira'.
Authorities say at least 20 others were injured elsewhere in the town, including one person seriously hurt after glass windows shattered at a nearby hotel. Footage shared by SIC captured the scale of the winds as they swept through the region.
