More than 1.4 million homes and businesses were without power due to the severe thunderstorms, although power may not be disrupted yet. Continuous work is being done regarding this. According to meteorologists, violent storms often occur in the South America during the winter months, as warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico rises and collides with cooler air.
Talking to the media, the Emergency Management Agency said that food and drinking water are being provided in the affected areas. Work on this is being done on priority. Along with this, the search for the missing people is going on. People need to keep patience.
