A violent supercell storm hit Argentina's Misiones province, causing destructive tornadoes. Two confirmed tornadoes caused significant material damage in the northeastern region, where an orange alert remains in effect. The first tornado impacted Dionisio Cerqueira, a border city with Bernardo de Irigoyen, while the second hit Río Bonito do Iguaçu in Brazil's Paraná state. Strong winds and hail severely affected municipalities such as Campo Grande, 25 de Mayo, and Colonia Alberdi, with reports of roofs being blown off, fallen trees and utility poles, and power outages. Authorities warned that repairs could take several days due to the extent of the damage. According to specialists, the tornadoes could be classified as F1 to F2 on the Fujita scale, with estimated winds of 120-180 km/h. Miraculously, there have been no reports of fatalities or injuries. Local police and emergency teams are mobilizing to assist affected families, clear roads blocked by fallen trees, and restore basic services.
