"A strong storm generated by a low atmospheric pressure area affecting the Atlantic Coast impacted the Buenos Aires coast this weekend and caused severe damage in the north of Pinamar, where wind gusts of up to 70 kilometers per hour were recorded. Images captured on Sunday show damage in a residential area surrounded by forest, with pines and other trees knocked down, as well as homes affected by falling branches and structures. Andrea, an owner of a local nursery, said that the meteorological phenomenon presented itself with "great violence" around nine o'clock at night, local time, where, she said, it damaged her entire nursery. "Then, when it got very heavy. After nine, I was watching, watching, watching, until once, when I opened the camera, I didn't see the roof," she said and added that "Pinamar had never experienced an event like this." Meanwhile, Miguel, a witness to the storm, said that during the event "huge branches fell on the roof" and the sheet metal roofs were completely destroyed. "All the pines fell in front of us, very old trees. And here everything exploded, from the forests to here. It came in through here [the storm], made a whirlwind, a disaster, never, never have I seen anything like it," he indicated. Fire and civil defense teams worked for hours to clear streets and assist families affected by the storm. In addition to material damage, the phenomenon also known as cyclogenesis caused flooding in several streets and complications in the electricity supply. Authorities maintained weather alerts for strong winds and warned that weather conditions will continue to be unstable throughout the weekend."
