A date that will mark forever all the residents of Ribeira Quente, a place where, on this day in 1997, heavy rain caused landslides and 29 people were buried, including a three-week-old child.<\/p><p>A terrible and frightening event that destroyed this parish, where the heavy rains flooded houses, and the avalanches of earth completely destroyed and submerged others, as well as the only access road to Ribeira Quente that was blocked making it difficult for outside help to get in. The only way to reach the disaster-stricken parish was only by sea or air, by helicopter. Ribeira Quente was isolated for almost 12 hours, the only access road was inaccessible, electricity, water and telecommunications were cut off.<\/p><p>With the news of this catastrophe, several help and support emerged that contributed for the rebuilding of the parish, namely several donations from the continent and abroad and from the Azorean emigrant community, as well as support from entities such as C\u00e1ritas. After 25 years, the fright and the startle still prevails in the inhabitants of Ribeira Quente, when more intense rains are felt, awakening the fear that something similar to the 31st of October 1997 will not happen again&#8230;<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6e7f076 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6e7f076\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-83cd538\" data-id=\"83cd538\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f22f5a3 elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"f22f5a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;arrows&quot;,&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;effect&quot;:&quot;slide&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper-container\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/aeazores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/21160441_HpBuI.png\" alt=\"21160441_HpBuI\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/aeazores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Ribeira-Quente-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Ribeira-Quente\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/aeazores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/rq.jpg\" alt=\"rq\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/aeazores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"hqdefault\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/aeazores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/images-1.jpg\" alt=\"images (1)\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/aeazores.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/images.jpg\" alt=\"images\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"eicon-chevron-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Previous<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"eicon-chevron-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exactly 25 years ago, in the early hours of 31 October, a catastrophe struck the fishing village of Ribeira Quente, in the municipality of Povoa\u00e7\u00e3o, S\u00e3o Miguel Island.
