Forty-two people were killed and more than 120 injured Saturday night after a huge storm triggered flooding and landslides on the Portuguese island of Madeira.
    
The number of missing has fluctuated from anywhere between 13 and 120 people in the past week, due to poor communication on the island.
     
Many reported 29 people missing, and more than 250 people were evacuated from their homes.
     
Some fear that those missing may have been swept into the Atlantic Ocean.
     
A makeshift morgue has been set up at the island's airport, serving as a counseling center for those grieving, as well.
     
Search teams continue to use bulldozers and sniffer dogs to sift through the wreckage to locate those who were lost and to attempt to clear houses and streets.
     
The landslides sent rocks, mud, huge boulders, and large parts of trees careening through the streets.
    
Much of the flooding happened in Funchal, the Madeira's capital in the southeast corner of the island, and some other cities.
     
Three days of nationally-sanctioned mourning were announced Monday in memory of those who lost their lives in one of the worst disasters in the island's recent history.
     
Many tourists have canceled their trips to Madeira after learning of the landslides, but officials are encouraging people to keep their reservations and to still come.
     
The cancellations present some problems--the small island, around 560 miles off the coast of Portugal and 300 miles off the coast of Africa, depends on tourism for most of its revenue.
     
Over 90 percent of the population is employed by businesses essential to tourism, such as in airports, hotels, and rental car companies.
     
With the exception of exporting bananas and their world-renowned wine, the elimination of the tourist industry could annihilate the small island nation's economy.
     
Many environmentalists are blaming the government's overdevelopment of certain parts of the island.
     
The most famous Madeiran, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo of the Real Madrid team, was "shocked and dismayed" by the disaster in his homeland. 
     
"Nobody can remain indifferent to the disaster," he said. "I want to express my willingness to, as far as I can, help agencies and authorities to overcome the effects of this devastation."
     
Prime Minister José Sócrates has also pledged his support to help the island recover.
     
Predictions estimate that it might take a year or more to for the island to become fully operational again.
