Storm Claudia in Portugal has brought heavy rains that have caused deadly flooding. An elderly couple died.
The elderly couple lived in Setúbal, an area south of Lisbon, and were trapped in their flooded home overnight.
Although the exact circumstances of the accident remain under investigation, Portuguese media reports that the couple were unable to move in time as the water level rose too quickly inside the house.
