He discussed his experience with the earthquake and said: “When I tell you what I said to my assistant -lemos …
“We climbed the stairs when we heard a sound. I said we had to repair the glass door in front of us.
“It was only after I arrived here, I realized what had really happened.”
The earthquake struck Portugal around 1:24 pm local time on Monday afternoon.
The epicenter was registered about 14 kilometers from Seixal, in the Setúbal district, and was felt in various places in Greater Lisbon.
