The storm that broke out on Saturday night, for a short period of time but with considerable intensity, caused inconveniences in different parts of the city. Falling branches and trees, blowing off roofs and cuts in the electricity service were the balance. In turn, the gusts “blew up” the solar panels that the Popular Electricity Cooperative installed in the North Transformer Substation and, on the other hand, they knocked down the sign of a bookstore.
A tour of the city allowed us to see a significant number of damaged trees, with fallen branches on the streets and sidewalks and in the different green spaces of the city. According to the National Meteorological Service, the storm hit the city between 8:35 p.m. and 11:40 p.m. In that period, the recorded rainfall amounted to four millimeters and the wind gusts reached 85 kilometers per hour.
Sources from the Police Fire Department confirmed to this newspaper that there were “many” situations in which they had to intervene. “The main thing was the two national routes, they were cut (due to the fall of branches and trees) and we had to free them quickly so that they did not become crowded due to the fluidity of vehicle circulation,” they explained.
In front of the Federal Tire, a eucalyptus tree fell on the asphalt strip, which was removed by Firefighters. Then, on Route 5 near the Mac Allister field there were also several trees that fell on the pavement.
On the other hand, they pointed out that there were “many roof blasts,” although none of them were serious. They only attended due to the scare that the situation caused in the neighbors. Around 11:30 p.m., fire personnel approached Urquiza and Mansilla, where the sign of a bookstore had collapsed. “It was removed and kept in a safe place,” they reported.
Another no small detail was the property damage that the CPE suffered in its structure. The sources of the entity consulted revealed that the North Transformer Substation, located on the entity’s property on Joaquin Ferro and Catamarca, “suffered the blowing up of the solar screens that had been installed.” At the time, they involved an investment of more than 12 thousand dollars.
On Jujuy Street, almost Santa Cruz, a palm tree fell into a field, which did not represent any risk. Another episode occurred in Stieben at 1,500, where police personnel found a roof that belonged to a person residing in Parana at 160. “There were no injuries in this case,” they clarified.
They also recorded “the fall of large trees, although fortunately none with human losses.” An example of this occurred in the Plazoleta de los Caldenes, the strong wind broke the branch of one of the specimens in the place, which already had an iron structure to contain it. Due to the intensity of the gusts, one of its large branches fell on one of the concrete tables and destroyed it.
Police and Firefighters intervened in a house located in Mariano Pascual, between Luro and Valerga, because a tree had fallen on it. At the scene they spoke with the 73-year-old owner, who confirmed that fortunately it only caused “broken cables”, without putting third parties at risk.
Firefighters also removed a plant that was obstructing a garage on La Rioja Street. Then they went to the Government House, on San Martin Avenue, where access and egress had also been hindered by fallen branches.
A tree was also removed on Pueyrredon Street at 1,200, as was the case in Tierno, between Luro and Garay Vivas. In Santiago Alvarez, between Trenel and Bernasconi, three fell. “Firefighters cut and chopped them to remove them,” they stated.
