Uruguay registered rain and storms on Wednesday that affected several areas of the country, but some departments were the most affected. Paysandú (on the Uruguayan coast, bordering Argentina) was one of the places that suffered the greatest consequences of the inclement weather. In videos posted on social media, it was possible to see flooded streets and dump trucks in the middle of the street.

The strongest wind gusts in the area were 76 kilometers per hour in that department, according to data from the Uruguayan Institute of Meteorology (Inumet) reported by the Uruguayan news program Subrayado on Channel 10. The general secretary of the Paysandú Municipality, Fermín Farinha, declared that since Monday the municipal government had a protocol established due to the meteorological announcements that there were.
