  Madeira looks for 32 missing after island's floods
 
AP - February 23, 2010
Emergency crews in Madeira are looking for 32 people still missing four days after weekend
landslides that claimed dozens of lives in the Portuguese island's worst disaster in living memory.

Madeira (pronounced /məˈdɪərÉ™/ mÉ™-DEER-É™ or /məˈdɛərÉ™/ mÉ™-DAIR-É™; Portuguese: [mɐˈdeiɾɐ] or [mɐˈdɐiɾɐ]) Madeira is a
Portuguese archipelago that lies in the mid Atlantic Ocean.
32°22.3′N 16°16.5′W / 32.3717°N 16.275°W / 32.3717; -16.275 and 33°7.8′N 17°16.65′W / 33.13°N 17.2775°W / 33.13; -17.2775 n. It is one
of the Autonomous regions of Portugal, with Madeira Island and Porto
Santo Island being the only inhabited islands.

Madeira is part of the
EU as an outermost region of the European Union. It was discovered by
Portuguese sailors some time between 1418 - 1420.

The archipelago is considered to be the first discovery of the exploratory period
initiated by Henry the Navigator of Portugal. It is a popular
year-round resort, noted for its Madeira wine, flowers, and embroidery
artisans, as well as its New Year's Eve celebrations that feature a
spectacular fireworks show, which is the largest in the world according
to the Guinness World Records. Its harbor, Funchal, is important due to
its commercial and passenger traffic and for being a major stopover for
cruisers en route from Europe to the Caribbean.
