Storm Pummels Mar del Plata: Seawall Destroyed, Streets Flooded

Mar del Plata, Argentina, experienced significant damage on May 28, 2025, due to a severe storm. Waves exceeding two meters battered the city's coastline, causing substantial damage to a seawall along the waterfront. Large sections of the wall were broken apart, and the area was immediately cordoned off for safety reasons. The storm also caused flooding in several streets near the coast. "The force of the sea was unstoppable," said a local resident, describing the scene. C5N reporter Gimena added, "The wind gusts surpassed 70 kilometers per hour, contributing significantly to the damage and flooding." Authorities are assessing the extent of the damage and working to restore the affected areas. The storm serves as a stark reminder of the power of nature and the importance of preparedness during severe weather.
