Last night, June 5th, the department of Santa Ana experienced a resurgence of vulnerability due to the intense rainfall that battered the region. The storms that occurred during the night caused the immediate collapse of drainage systems in various parts of the city, leaving several streets and avenues completely flooded.

In a matter of minutes, the streets were transformed into raging rivers, causing serious problems for pedestrians and completely paralyzing vehicular traffic. The force of the currents and flash floods took dozens of people by surprise as they tried to return home.

Among the most serious incidents reported overnight, emergency crews had to be urgently deployed to 25th Street West. There, the force of the current trapped a driver, whose vehicle began to be dangerously swept away by the water. Thanks to the swift intervention of the rescue teams, the individual was safely evacuated and taken to a protected area, preventing the situation from escalating or resulting in a tragedy.


However, the material damage was substantial in other parts of the municipality: several transport units and private vehicles were severely affected and suffered serious structural damage after being trapped in the floods or being swept away by the currents.

The severe storm also impacted several hospitals, which sustained damage. Meanwhile, residents of the department's most vulnerable neighborhoods and communities expressed deep concern about the situation. Many said they stayed awake, fearing that the rains would continue and cause further flooding or overflows in their homes in the coming hours.
