The heavy rain that hit the state capital on Friday afternoon (24) left the city in a state of attention for flooding for just over two hours, according to the São Paulo City Hall (CGE) climate emergency management center.
There was no record of injuries.
The areas of all subprefectures in the city went into a state of attention at 3:27 pm, a situation that lasted until 5:35 pm. About 140,000 properties were left without light, according to the concessionaire Enel. There were 32 flooding points, according to the CGE.
During the storm, part of the roof of the North mall collapsed.
The storm caused flooding in the city and affected the public transport system. The capital was over 1,000 kilometers of congestion in the late afternoon, according to the Traffic Engineering Company (CET). In the subway, Jardim São Paulo Station, line 1-Azul, flooded. The water generated a “waterfall” on the stairs of the season.
At Congonhas Airport, two landings and two takeoffs were canceled, according to Aen.
