In the early hours of Tuesday, a powerful storm brought intense rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds to Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires area, catching residents off guard. The aftermath saw residents assessing the damage while roads were heavily flooded, disrupting the morning routine for many. Drone footage from LN+ showcased the extent of the flooding, highlighting isolated neighborhoods and the difficulties faced by commuters.

The National Meteorological Service had issued two yellow alerts prior to the storm, warning of thunderstorms and high winds. However, many residents were unprepared for the sudden intensity of the rain, which resulted in significant water accumulation in various sectors by dawn. On the streets, floodwaters completely submerged sidewalks and vehicles, creating hazardous conditions as cars struggled to navigate through rising water levels.

As the neighborhood dealt with the aftermath of the storm, emergency services were mobilized to assist with rescues and clearing blocked roads. The incident underlined the need for better preparedness in facing extreme weather events, as climate change is increasingly affecting weather patterns in the region. Local officials are likely to assess the damage and discuss initiatives to improve drainage and emergency response for future storms.
