Argentina imports energy from Brazil after storm that even dragged planes onto the runway

The strong heat of Saturday (16) and a cold wave collided in the air, generating extreme winds in the early hours of Sunday (17), according to experts. Winds of up to 130 kilometers per hour left surprising images, such as planes dragged on the runway at Aeroparque, in Palermo, and jets upside down. In the early hours of Sunday, many residents wrote on their social networks that they had the feeling that the buildings where they lived were shaking. This Monday, streets and avenues still show the traces of the phenomenon, with trees fallen on cars and blocked by the debris. More than 600,000 homes were left without electricity. On Sunday night, it was reported that Javier Milei’s government will impose energy from Brazil. The two countries have an understanding in this regard and it is common for one to help the other in this sector. In the city of Bahia Blanca, more than 600 kilometers south of the Federal Capital, Buenos Aires, 13 people died after strong winds caused the roof of a club to collapse. The city is in mourning. Another person died in Buenos Aires after being hit by debris. Experts interviewed by Clarín in Spanish stated that what happened was rare, but that it could happen again.
