Canary Islands storm claims first victim

An unidentified woman became the first fatal victim of a violent storm that affected the Canary Islands on Tuesday. She was washed away in Fañabe Alto in the south of Tenerife. The whole of the archipelago was put on severe weather alert, although the worst affected area was the islands to the southeast. Local authorities advised people to equip themselves with torches and battery-operated radios in case there was a repeat of the power cuts experienced during tropical storm Delta.
