Passage of bad weather in the south-central area of the country leaves 29 victims and 15 buildings with greater damage

A weather system affecting central and southern regions of Chile has caused 29 people to be affected, including one destroyed house and 15 buildings with major damage, according to the National Service for Prevention and Response to Disasters (Senapred). The event began being monitored on August 26 and involves multiple regions, including Coquimbo, La Araucanía, Valparaíso, and others. Two red alerts remain active: one for rising water levels at the Colbún Dam in the Maule region and another for flooding in the Andalién River in the Biobío region. Additional yellow alerts exist for flood risks in several areas. A tornado was reported in the Ñuble region, classified as EF-0, with wind speeds between 105–137 km/h. Authorities continue monitoring the situation closely.
