Traffic halted and electrical incident at a home
A strong storm with gusty winds knocked down trees onto National Route 12 in the early hours of Thursday, November 5, 2026, in Puerto Iguazú, Argentina. The incident also caused a dog to die from electrocution at a local residence.
The fallen trees blocked the roadway between the Army zone and the Cataratas intersection, stopping vehicle flow. Passengers from a bus passing the site helped clear the road, assisted by National Gendarmerie agents and staff from Iguazú National Park.
At the same time, an electric cable fell onto the metal gate of a house on Facundo Quiroga Street. The structure became energized, preventing a family inside the house from exiting. The household dog died after touching the gate. No human injuries were reported.
Road-clearing operations and the response to the electrical incident continued into Thursday morning.
