Tornado
Kills 10 In Argentina
Buenos Aires - A tornado
spawned the north of Argentina early Tuesday
morning, killing at least 10 people and
injuring 51 more, 18 of them in grave
conditions.
The tornado spawned the localities of Tobuna
and San Javier in Misiones province in the
north of the country and the locality of San
Pedro near the border with Brazil, province
health director Jose Guccione said.
"There are 10 deaths and 51 injured people,
18 of them are in very grave conditions and
they were taken to a hospital in Eldorado
city," Guccione said.
Argentine President Cristina Fernandez
announced she will travel on Wednesday to
Misiones in order to evaluate the official
aid to be given to the affected zone.
Misones governor, Maurice Closs, as quoted
by local radio, said the tornado was
"totally a typical" and that it "produced
terrible ravage."
The tornado collapsed houses and fell down
trees, energy and telephone posts fall,
which make the localities isolated.
Argentine Health Minister Juan Manzur will
travel to the affected area to coordinate
the aid.
