🌧️ A powerful storm has swept through south-central Chile, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. One person has tragically lost their life, and over 11,000 people have been forced to evacuate their homes, according to local authorities.
From Coquimbo to Los Rios, nine regions have been battered by heavy rains, causing widespread flooding and damage. Streets have turned into rivers, homes have been inundated, and communities are rallying together to cope with the aftermath.
While the worst of the storm has subsided, lighter showers are expected to continue into Tuesday, potentially hampering recovery efforts. Emergency services are on high alert, and locals are urged to stay safe and heed official advice.
💪 The resilience of the Chilean people shines through as communities band together to support those affected. If you're in the area, stay informed and take care. For everyone else, let's keep Chile in our thoughts as they navigate this challenging time.
