On Thursday afternoon, significant rainfall and strong winds descended upon Campo Grande, resulting in rapid flooding across several streets in the city. Residents documented this extreme weather, which left many areas submerged under water, causing fallen trees and interrupted traffic in multiple locations. Particularly affected zones included Lago do Amor, Avenida Costa e Silva, and Avenida Souza Lima, where students struggled to exit their school due to the surge of water.

The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) issued an orange alert for Campo Grande, forecasting intense rainfall rates ranging from 30 to 60 mm per hour and total accumulations of 50 to 100 mm daily. Additionally, wind speeds were projected to reach between 60 to 100 km/h, with a possibility of hail. This warning highlights the potential risks associated with the ongoing weather, including severe flooding, damage to infrastructure such as fallen trees, harm to crops, and potential power outages as conditions worsen.

Meteorological authorities have advised the public to stay safe during this stormy weather. Residents are encouraged to avoid taking shelter under trees during gusty winds and to steer clear of parking near transmission towers, which could fall due to the high winds. As the situation develops, it is crucial that citizens remain vigilant about the weather conditions and heed local advisories for their safety.
