Lisbon Earthquake Strikes, Leaving Devastation in Its Wake
Update 12:00 PM GMT
A massive earthquake has struck Lisbon, Portugal, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in its wake. The quake, measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale, has caused widespread damage and has killed at least 50 people, with the death toll expected to rise.
The earthquake, which struck at approximately 9:00 AM GMT, was felt throughout the city and has left thousands of people homeless. Buildings have collapsed, and emergency services are struggling to respond to the scale of the disaster.
"We are doing everything we can to rescue those trapped under the rubble," said José Alberto, Lisbon’s mayor. "Our priority is to provide assistance to those affected and to ensure that those injured receive the medical attention they need."
Eyewitnesses describe the scene as "apocalyptic," with buildings reduced to rubble and debris scattered everywhere.
"It was like nothing I have ever seen before," said Maria Costa, a resident of Lisbon. "I was at home when the earthquake struck. I didn’t know what was happening until I heard the screams and the crashing sounds. I ran outside and saw that our neighborhood was destroyed."
The Portuguese government has declared a state of emergency and has called for international assistance.
"We are grateful for the international community’s support and are working closely with our partners to respond to this disaster," said Portuguese Prime Minister, António Costa.

Isto é mais um rant que outra coisa qualquer. Hoje liguei a TV para ver algumas notícias de manhã e sou barrado com o terramoto sentido em Lisboa. E agora é só isso, terramoto para cima terramoto para baixo… A comunicação social tá na merda quando têm de repetir as mesmas coisas pelo decurso de horas e horas. É a mesma coisa com todos os outros tópicos, mas como açoriano que já sentiu vários terramotos, este em Lisboa foi só um peido mais forte que abana o sofá ou aquela sensação de estar a passar um camião pesado mesmo ao pé de casa e ter o chão a tremer.
Mas para os continentais… Ui ui isto não é normal, por este motivo as restantes notícias deixam de ser relevantes e vamos focar apenas no tremor de terra durante o dia TODO!!!
Deve ser um slow news day quando este tipo de cenas acontece e domina completamente qualquer saída de informação.
E depois os portugueses são desinformados… Claro com toda esta repetição sem sentido da mesma coisa, prefiro então estar a ver outras merdas.
Já tá bom de rant. Obrigado pessoal e forcinha aí nos terramotos!
