Tornadoes leave homes affected and power cuts in Yungay, Ñuble region

Tornado-like winds caused damage to homes and power outages in Yungay commune, located in the Ñuble region of Chile. According to regional director of the National Service of Prevention and Response to Disasters (Senapred), Cristian Matus, eight houses were affected across different sectors, including Campanario, Cholhuán, and San Miguel de Tata. The electrical infrastructure of Frontel and a plant operated by Arauco in Cholhuán were also damaged. Power outages impacted over 7,000 customers in the Ñuble region, with Yungay being the most affected area. No injuries were reported, and affected families were relocated to relatives' homes, avoiding the need for emergency shelters. The presidential delegate for Ñuble, Diego Sepúlveda, stated that authorities were working closely with local municipalities and emergency teams to ensure a swift and effective response. Senapred noted that the region remains under a Preventive Early Warning due to post-frontal instability, which could persist through Saturday.
