On Saturday, February 20th 2010, a massive deluge descended upon the mountain villages surrounding Funchal, Madeira’s capital city. Eight hours of pounding rain battered the island's quarter of a million inhabitants, equaling the sum total of a month’s worth of precipitation. The storm resulted in deadly mountain mudslides and flash floods which took the lives of over 50 people, with many injured and dozens missing or feared dead.
