At least two persons perished in new flood waters and more than 1,200 persons had to be evacuated from their homes as waters rose and the rains kept coming. In Santiago, seven more houses fell in to the arroyos and the stonewall shoring up the back side of the Fortaleza San Luis collapsed, forcing the municipality to declare it a public danger. One drowning death occurred at the intersection of two of the major avenues of the city, 27 de Febrero and Estrella Sadhala, when a man tried to keep his motorcycle from being swept away by the current and drowned in the attempt. Because of the flooding, the COE was forced to close 14 swimming holes in the area.
