On Sunday afternoon, two trucks belonging to the energy company Enel became stranded in severe flooding in the Ipiranga neighborhood of São Paulo after a sudden downpour. This intense rain also affected the city's Botanical Garden, inundating its walkways. Footage from TV Globo captured workers atop the stranded trucks trying to escape the rising water, which covered the vehicles' wheels and reached the doors. The incident highlights the challenges faced by urban infrastructure during extreme weather events.

Enel reported that 33,200 properties in São Paulo were without electricity, a small percentage of the total number of customers served by the company. In response to the flooding, Enel stated that a partner company's teams are waiting for water levels to drop to ensure safe movement and deployment. The company is actively monitoring the situation and has maintained communication with its emergency response teams to address the impacts of the flooding on local power supply.

The São Paulo Civil Defense issued a severe weather alert for the western, northern, and central zones of the capital on the same afternoon, indicating ongoing concerns about the potential for more extreme weather. The incident serves as a crucial reminder of the vulnerability of urban areas to floods and the importance of preparedness and rapid response in managing such emergencies.
