The full report is as follows:
Fires are sweeping across areas of two neighbouring municipalities on the west coast, Calheta and Porto Moniz, burning in hard-to-reach areas amid unseasonably high temperatures expected to top 30 degrees Celsius (86°F) on Friday.
The Civil Protection authority on Friday morning located the missing tourists. They had fled to a cave in a mountainous part of Porto Moniz and an operation to rescue them from the area was under way, it said on social media.
"It was a complicated night, a difficult night," Civil Protection secretary of state Patricia Gaspar told public broadcaster RTP at Lisbon's military airport. "The fires are still ongoing."
The water reached 1-1.5m surrounding the 350 households of An Tay Ward, Hue. Police had to mobilize two small boats to get residents and students out of the flooded area.
Heavy rain turned major streets in Da Nang into rivers on October 12 - 13, with many places being left under water of between one and two metres deep. Relevant forces, including young volunteers and soldiers, were dispatched to evacuate 5,000 local people from flooded areas.
On the evening of October 13, Le Trung Chinh, head of the Da Nang municipal administration, made a field trip to the flooded areas in Lien Chieu and Thanh Khe districts.
Until 11:00 a.m., the volcano had recorded a total of 195 low-intensity exhalations in the last 24 hours, accompanied by water vapor, volcanic gases and, sometimes, falling ash.
However, it was around 2:20 p.m. this Saturday when the volcano emitted an impressive column of smoke accompanied by ash and gases , which was visible several kilometers away, but due to the direction of the winds, the ash did not reached the city of Puebla.
The deluge has resulted in widespread waterlogging across the city.
Reportedly, the severe weather conditions have forced Israel authorities to postpone a planned ground military operation in the Gaza Strip.
Videos circulating on social media depict cars navigating through flooded streets, highlighting the extent of the waterlogged areas in Tel Aviv and nearby Herzliya.
The severe weather conditions have disrupted the strategic military operations amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas War.
The US Geological Survey said the latest quake's epicenter was about 34 kilometers (21 miles) outside Herat, the provincial capital, and eight kilometers (five miles) below the surface. Also, a 5.5 magnitude aftershock has hit the area, said the USGS.
There were no immediate official reports of possible casualties or damage.
The earthquakes on October 7 flattened whole villages in Herat, in one of the most destructive quakes in the country's recent history.AP

The heaviest of the rainfall was recorded during the "rush hour" commute and around the same time as high tide, exacerbating flooding.
Motorists said the roads were like "rivers" that seemed almost impassable in places, including Woodlands Road, a common flooding site.
However, some made the best of the situation, with a recording of a man rowing a kayak on Bakery Lane spreading on social media.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Public Works said that the Government was aware of flooding issues on some roads and would continue to work to address it.

This is on par with the prediction for the area, give or take a couple inches. Other ski areas in the Aspen area show about five to six inches on their snow stakes.
Nearby, Independence Pass, which reaches 12,095 feet of elevation, is also under a temporary closure. Closures of this nature are normal when wintery weather rolls through, with the seasonal closure for this iconic pass typically being put in place around November 7.
More snow is expected to keep falling in Colorado, totaling 18 to 24 inches in some mountainous areas in the northern portion of the state.
Those traveling mountain roads should proceed with caution, as roads will likely be slick and visibility may be limited.
"Winter has arrived in Utah and the storm total at Alta was 9 inches from this recent storm but it definitely felt deeper up towards the top of Gunsight. Most other areas looked very bony still and Gunsight had a solid ribbon of white from top to bottom so our decision was easy.
The top entry was a little rocky but we've skied it on worse. Skier's right had the deepest snow. Our exit out Greely Hill was bushy good lovin'. We cruised back to the car happy to officially start the 2023-2024 winter."

Survey teams from the National Weather Service toured areas in Crystal River and Clearwater. Preliminary data shows at least EF-2 tornadoes at both locations. According to the FOX Forecast Center, the tornado that hit Crystal River was the strongest twister to hit Citrus County since an F-2 tornado that also struck Crystal River on Sept. 3, 1998.
Chilling video captured by Michelle Dal Pos showed a waterspout as it moved onshore near the Dunedin Causeway, located 5 miles north of Clearwater, Florida. It struck under the cover of darkness and was later confirmed as a tornado.
