Portugal's President Anibal Cavaco Silva (R) talks with Mayor of Funchal Miguel Albuquerque in downtown Funchal after heavy floods in Madeira island February 24, 2010. The number of people missing after floods hit the resort island of Madeira has jumped, raising fears the death toll in Portugal's worst natural disaster in a decade may rise sharply, officials said on Monday. Rescue workers have scrambled to find survivors and clean up after torrential rains on Saturday turned streams into gushing rivers that blasted through the island's capital, overturning cars, destroying houses and blocking roads.
