Empty and closed shops, cancelled flights, "irrecoverable losses" in industry, but it could have been worse
Storm Charles caused significant disruption across Portugal on Wednesday 11 November, leading to the closure of schools, non-essential public services, and major retailers like Pingo Doce. Over 40% of flights were cancelled across major airports, with Lisbon recording a 58% cancellation rate, while industry and commerce reported significant immediate losses due to the government-mandated shutdown.
