On Monday, the day in Córdoba started with storms in much of the province's territory and there were rivers flooding.
A significant influx of water occurred precisely in the San Antonio River, so they had to close the fords where vehicles cross.
According to local authorities, it is
the highest flood of the season (four meters)
and it reached the San Roque dam, which provided relief from the drought.
