The Rio Piracicaba overflowed due to intense rainfall recorded since Wednesday, leading to significant rise in water levels that reached over 4.91 meters. Around 2:40 PM on Thursday, the gauge reported 4.93 meters, indicating a state of flooding that led to road closures and heightened alert among local authorities. The situation on Friday morning showed that water levels had begun to affect local infrastructures, with some road areas submerged.

Despite the serious conditions, officials reported that there were no cases of displaced individuals or seriously affected homes. However, the closure of essential locations such as Horto de Tupi was deemed necessary due to saturated soil and the potential threat of falling trees. Various streets and specific sections, notably the Estrada do Bongue and Avenida Jaime Pereira, faced interruptions to ensure the safety of residents and visitors.

The local Civil Defense and city officials are actively monitoring the situation to respond adequately to any changes in water levels or additional weather alerts. The ongoing scrutiny underscores the importance of preparedness in the face of sudden and severe weather patterns, which can lead to significant impacts on urban areas and their infrastructure.
