Meanwhile, in Portugal, soaring temperatures have fueled a deadly fire that has killed at least 64 people northeast of the capital Lisbon. Nearly half the victims burned to death when flames engulfed their cars as they tried to flee. This is resident Jose Lopes.
Jose Lopes: “We have fires every year, but this year that fire was not like the ones in the past. It was lightning from a storm. It wasn’t an arson. No one set this fire. We never saw one like this. I never saw. So many dead, so many disgraces. And still it’s burning.”
