The passage of Leslie over Portugal left 27 injured, widespread damage on buildings, thousands of falling trees and an entire borough (Soure) without power (so serious that the power supply company is considering to ask international help).

Accordingly with the IPMA web page a gust of 176 km/h (49 m/s) was recorded at 21:40Z, exceeding the previous maximum of 169 km/h occurred on 17 of October 2015.
