Torrential rain turns streets on Faial Island into authentic rivers

The island of Faial, in the Azores, was hit by heavy rain last Tuesday afternoon, resulting in several flooded streets. The situation was documented by several residents, who shared videos on social media showing cars trying to cross flooded streets.

In the comments, several internet users expressed frustration, attributing part of the responsibility to local authorities due to the alleged lack of cleaning of the gutters, which would have hampered the drainage of rainwater.
