9 April 2013In early April 2013, severe flooding claimed more than 50 lives, and forced thousands from their homes in the Buenos Aires region, news sources said. Many of the casualties occurred in La Plata, situated about 60 kilometers (40 miles) southeast of Buenos Aires. Roughly 40 centimeters (16 inches) of rain fell on La Plata in a two-hour period April 2–3, Agence France-Presse reported.
Flood water lingered when the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image on April 4, 2013. ASTER combines infrared, red, and green wavelengths of light to make false-color images that help to distinguish between water and land. Much of the water in this scene appears bright blue, including the broad expanse of flood water east and southeast of the city. In Rio de la Plata (upper right), water is clogged with sediment and appears beige. Vegetation is bright green and urban areas are pale blue-gray.
The heavy rains turned roads into raging rivers, submerging cars, and trapping drivers and passengers. Many residents took refuge on their rooftops awaiting rescue, Agence France-Presse reported, and the strong storm activity that brought the flooding also downed trees and power lines.
