Description of Event
Intense rainfall and the rise of the Paraná and Gualeguay rivers produced severe flooding in the Santa Fe and Entre Rios provinces, affecting mainly the cities of Santa Fe, Rosario and Gualeguay.
Three people were killed and the total number of evacuees was estimated at between 30,000 and 40,000.
More than 6,000 evacuees were reported in Rosario and Santa Fe. More than 300 mm of rain fell over a 72-hour period in Santa Fe. Systems collapsed, with a substantial portion of the city remaining without electricity. The city and the region were isolated since main roads were flooded.
About 4,500 were evacuated from the city of Gualeguay (Entre Rios) where more than 380 mm of rainfall within 24 hours were recorded.
