A powerful storm killed at least five people and injured 81 in Paraguay as it moved across the southern portion of South America on Wednesday, ripping roofs off homes and leaving thousands of people without shelter. No deaths were reported outside Paraguay, but power outages were widespread and many people had to be evacuated as rivers overran their banks and coastal areas flooded. Strong wind and heavy rain hit Paraguay, southern Brazil, northern Argentina, and Uruguay. Near Paraguay capital, Asuncion, four soldiers died and 14 were injured when their dormitory roof collapsed, and a falling sign killed a girl outside a shopping center in the suburb of Mariano Roque Alonso. Tin roofs littered the streets after the storm passed, and Mayor Heriberto Marmol said that large part of the city needs to be reconstructed.
