This Saturday morning (11/11), the city of Santa Maria was hit by strong winds, which caused a series of incidents. The City Hall, through the Municipal Civil Defense, is monitoring the situation and responding to incidents.
Wind gusts reached 49 km/h in the West Region and 80 km/h in the East Region. Despite the intensity of the winds, there were no reports of injured, displaced or homeless people, which is encouraging news amid the chaos.
Five homes suffered significant damage, with four of them in Bairro Camobi and one in the city center having their roofs ripped off by the strong winds. Adão Lemos, superintendent of Civil Defense, reported that tarpaulins were initially provided to affected residents. This emergency measure aims to protect homes and their occupants from further damage caused by the weather. In addition, a later delivery of fiber cement tiles was promised to help with the reconstruction of damaged roofs.
In addition to the damage to houses, the city also faced the fall of three trees, one in Bairro Km 3 and another in the Center. Tree branches were also found at the entrance to Residencial Moradas, in Bairro Cerrito, possibly uprooted by the force of the winds. All of these incidents were promptly responded to by the Military Fire Department, which worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of residents.
A particularly worrying incident occurred on Rua Samuel Kruschim, in Bairro Noal, where a pole fell due to the force of the wind. The pole fell on Saturday morning, blocking traffic and causing further inconvenience for local residents. The Fire Department was called to the scene, where they sawed off the metallic material and removed it from the road, thus restoring traffic flow.
The situation in Santa Maria is a reminder of the power of nature and the importance of effective response systems in times of crisis. The city continues to monitor the situation and respond to the needs of its citizens.
