Video : Severe storms cause havoc in Argentina, aircrafts move on their own

 


A massive storm Sunday in Argentina has killed at least 13 people in the port city of Bahia Blanca, blowing roofs off of buildings and collapsing a sports complex in the port city, about 400 miles west of the capital Buenos Aires, officials reported.


Wind gusts touched 86 mph in Bahia Blanca, population 300,000, making the storm equivalent to a Category 1 hurricane. Media reports showed scenes of widespread damage in the city, with large trees uprooted, roofs torn off buildings and other structures severely damaged.

The most severe damage was to a basketball gym, Club Bahiense del Norte, where emergency medical workers were treating victims, officials said.




The storm is now wreaking havoc on Buenos Aires with drenching rain and strong winds that led to reports of power outages, flooding and structural damage across the capital city. Weather authorities have issued an orange alert, the second highest danger level for serious weather events.


Wind gusts, hail, heavy rain and lightning strikes also damaged aircraft and canceled flights.

Aerolíneas Argentinas confirmed at least 16 planeswere damaged and upwards of 65 flights were canceled at urban and outlying regional airports, including Jorge Newbery, the Buenos Aires downtown airport, as well as Ezeiza International Airport and San Fernando International Airport.

Smaller planes were damaged, as well. San Fernando specializes in general aviation, and sustained damage to small aircraft which were overturned by the wind and saw hangar roofs blown off.
