Comments:
Around four in the afternoon on 8 August a hailstorm with strong winds struck the department of Itapúa, destroying homes and crops. The most affected areas are the districts of Mayor Otao and Carlos Antonio López, which are located 180 kilometres to the north of Encarnación, the departmental capital. The hailstorm, which lasted around half and hour and carried hails as large as 8 cm, created serious damages to the fibre cement roofing used in the area. The situation was then exacerbated when the hailstorm was followed by strong rain. Thus far the police has not informed about death related to the emergency.
