Re: Hurricane Vince forms in the Far Eastern Atlantic

Josef, I'm unable to find any topography maps of Oporto.
The Douro River would be the greatest concern.
For two reasons. 1-The slight possibility of a tidal surge from the winds blowing ahead of Hurricane Vince. And 2-possible river flooding from excessive rainfall.
So areas near the Douro River and any streams that flow into the Douro river could be in danger of flooding, either from rainfall or from water being pushed ahead of the storm.

The location of the storm, it's motion toward Oporto, and the location of landfall would be the determining factors on which would be the greatest hazard.
