A storm line caused by a low pressure system in Argentina produced tornadoes in Southern Brazil. A F3 intensity tornado on the Fujita scale, passed through several cities in Rio Grande do Sul, causing two deaths and leaving more than a thousand damaged homes. At least three trucks that circulated on the ERS-463 highway, between the municipalities of Coxilha and Tapejara, in the northern region of the state, were hurled off the runway. In the city of Agua Santa, the tornado destroyed at least 10 aviaries causing the death of more than 220 thousand chickens. 24 Gaucho cities were hit by the storm and 2,630 homes were affected. Another tornado struck Nova Conquista, a locality in the city of Chiapetta, the tornado was of low intensity (F0) and caused no damage. In other locations in southern Brazil, the storm line caused heavy rains accompanied by damaging winds and hailstorms.
