On Sunday morning, residents of northern Guayaquil were disturbed by loud thunder as a powerful electrical storm swept through the city. Thunderbolts lit up the sky, causing panic among some children who were frightened by the flashes. This sudden and intense weather event led to various difficulties, as reported by local inhabitants like Adolfo and Isaac, who struggled to deal with the aftermath of the storm, including water entering their homes due to open windows.

The storm that hit Guayaquil at the beginning of March resulted in significant water accumulation in several neighborhoods, with reports indicating that at least 16 areas experienced flooding. Local services, including Emapag and Interagua, were mobilized to address the consequences of the weather and assist affected families. The situation underscores the city's vulnerability to severe weather events, particularly during this season.

The National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology has warned that storms are expected to continue throughout the week, leading residents to brace for further disruptions. The persistence of such weather could hinder daily life and raise concerns about infrastructure and preparedness in Guayaquil as authorities continue to monitor the situation and provide necessary resources.
