In Brazil, scientists are still debating whether the tornado that hit Rio Bonito de Iguazú was a category 5 after devastating 90 percent of the territory. The destruction was so extreme that experts reassessed whether the phenomenon had reached the highest level, leaving most of the city destroyed. Researchers linked the event to an alarming trend of extreme weather in recent years, exacerbated by deforestation in the region, which altered the climate and created the conditions for this tragedy. Meanwhile, while some residents remain without basic services, solidarity flourished through the support of civil organizations.
