Terrible sights

I still haven't heard back from friends over in Madeira; watching the footage is just surreal and awful.

This was taken in Funchal - it was here we'd wait for the Garajau bus, nip across to the Chinese bazaar if there was time...





The flash floods crashed through homes perched on the mountainside, flipped cars over and dragged them down as they churned channels to the sea; torrents of mud picking up a deadly supply of rocks as they went. Watching video footage of Funchal, seeing the recognisable within the devestation, it's just shocking.



My heart goes out...
