In Tucumán, residents of La Madrid are unable to return home after severe floods have rendered many houses uninhabitable. The provincial government is urging the evacuation of Route 157, where numerous families are still living in makeshift tents. The lack of basic services, including electricity, complicates the situation further, leaving residents without a clear path to recovery.

As of the latest updates, around 90 tents line Route 157, with evacuees waiting for conditions to improve to return to their homes. The flooding has been particularly devastating, with reports indicating that some houses, like that of Ruth Albornoz, were submerged with water levels reaching nearly two meters. She likened this flooding event to a similar disaster in 2017, but noted that the current situation is worse in terms of overall damage and disruption.

As the government continues its efforts to assist affected families, the immediate concern remains the restoration of essential services and the condition of housing. With residents displaced and living in temporary shelters, the implications of this flooding ripple through the community, affecting everything from local businesses to the mental health of those who have lost their homes. The situation underscores the need for ongoing disaster preparedness and better infrastructure to manage extreme weather events in the future.
