The severe storm that struck the capital caused considerable damage. In Colonia La Cima 2 of San Bartolo, an 11-year-old girl and her 18-year-old brother suffered lacerations when a tree fell on the home; their mother also suffered a nervous breakdown.

Comandos de Salvamento cleared the entrance to the house so they could remove the three occupants and place them in a safer location. Comandos de Salvamento treated their injuries.

The strong winds also brought down another tree in Colonia Nuevos Horizontes, damaging a parked truck.

On 10th Avenida Norte, a tree gave way to the winds, obstructing vehicular traffic in the area.

Tree fallen in the area of 3rd Avenida Norte, San Salvador, near Calle Arce and Rubén Darío, in San Salvador.

In response, Comandos de Salvamento alerted their units that they would have to keep their volunteers on emergency duty, as the rain continues during these nighttime hours.
