At least eight dead after torrential rainstorm in Buenos Aires BUENOS AIRES, April 3 (UPI) -- At least eight people are dead following a torrential rainstorm that flooded streets and knocked out power in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires. It was the second most intense rainstorm the city has seen in more than 100 years, prompting Mayor Mauricio Macris to cut short a vacation and immediately return to the capital, the Buenos Aires Herald reported Wednesday. The storm knocked out power to at least 11 neighborhoods Tuesday and forced the evacuation of hundreds of residents. The heaviest rain occurred in the late afternoon, officials said. All city transport services were affected, including the subway and buses. Service on subway Line B was suspended after a worker died from electrocution, the subway workers union said. A bus on the Pan American highway was reported completely underwater while three trucks and various cars were seen floating. Environment Minister Diego Santilli said the most affected areas of the city were Lugano, Mataderos, Belgrano and Liniers.
