A house to be restored and thousands of kilometers in between

Diário de Leiria28 August 2026 at 09:00

Paula Bragança and her husband, who are emigrants living in Switzerland, were far from Portugal when meteorological Storm Kristin crossed Portuguese territory. The couple owns a house in Pilado that was left to be restored.

Storm Kristin caused significant impacts in several regions of the country. Paula Bragança's situation illustrates the reality of many Portuguese emigrants who own property in Portugal but cannot be present during extreme weather events.

The article does not specify what damage was caused by Storm Kristin nor does it provide more details about the exact location of Pilado or the current state of Paula Bragança's house.
