Storm hits Buenos Aires after killing at least 13 people

-

A storm that has already killed at least 13 people in Argentina was making its way through Buenos Aires on Sunday morning, drenching the city and bringing heavy winds that led to reports of power outages and damage across the capital.

The nation’s meteorolog­ical service warned residents of Buenos Aires that the storm placed the capital under an orange alert, the second highest.

On Saturday, the storm hit Bahía Blanca, a port city about 400 miles south of Buenos Aires, with gusts of up to 86 mph, making it comparable to a Category 1 hurricane.
