Heavy rain causes flooding in Igaraçu do Tietê and destroys houses with hail in São Manuel

In São Manuel (SP), according to Civil Defense, it rained intensely for about an hour, with hail falling in some parts of the municipality.

In total, more than 20 homes suffered structural damage, such as falling walls, flooding and roofing. According to the municipal body, teams are still on the streets and the damage is still being counted.

In Igaraçu do Tietê, the storm that occurred in the morning caused disruption. According to Civil Defense, the large volume of precipitation quickly increased the flow of the Monjolinho stream, causing the water to overflow and invade part of a residence.

Also according to the agency, the flood also reached a section of the Lauro Perassolli Highway. Although the accumulation of water quickly drained from the road, Civil Defense advises drivers to pay extra attention and reduce speed when traveling through the area.
