In Tomar, a young woman and her two children, a six-month-old baby and a nine-year-old boy, were left homeless because of Storm Kristin. One of the walls of the building where they lived collapsed. Journalist Paulo Leitão of Centro TV was at the scene.
Jéssica rented this house two weeks ago. On the night of Storm Kristin, it collapsed.

Context & Explainers
Local accommodation (alojamento local) means short-term tourist rentals—private apartments, houses or rooms rented for days or weeks—that must be registered and licensed with municipal authorities. Municipalities can suspend or cancel licences (Lisbon cancelled about 6,700 licences in early 2026), so travellers and hosts should check a listing's registration and local rules before booking or offering stays.
