STORYLINE:
More than 2,000 people were ordered to evacuate rural areas north of Argentina’s capital after several days of heavy rainfall flooded highways, farmlands, and entire neighborhoods.
The city of Campana, 46 miles (75 kilometers) north of the capital Buenos Aires, was one of the most affected.
Residents took to the streets and avenues of Campana’s San Cayetano neighborhood in kayaks and boats to help those most affected by the flooding.
"I have two brothers helping people to get out of their houses; my other brother was also rescued after staying on the rooftop of his house all night." said Guillermo López.
"Now they went back to see if they could recover some items, to avoid losing all. It’s an ugly situation,"
A bus with 44 passengers was stranded overnight for more than 10 hours on one of the roadways connecting Buenos Aires to the interior.
Between 8 and 15 inches (300 and 400 mm) of rain has fallen in the past 72 hours when the average monthly precipitation is about 1.7 inches, officials said. More wet weather followed by heavy wind is expected and authorities are urging residents, especially the 275,000 near the city of Zarate along the Parana River, to remain indoors.
Authorities likened the storm to one in March that killed at least 16 people.
