Fallen Trees Disrupt Salvador and São Paulo, Vitória Corridor Closed

Overview

• In São Paulo, a large tree fell around 2 a.m. on Alameda Santos near Rua Padre João Manoel, blocking the street until about 6 a.m., with no injuries reported.
• Crews cut the trunks and awaited removal by the Pinheiros subprefecture, and power service was unaffected because the local wiring is underground.
• In Salvador, a centenary tree came down on the Corredor da Vitória/Avenida Sete de Setembro in the morning, shutting both directions with no reported injuries.
• Defesa Civil isolated the area as Seman, Transalvador and Coelba handled removal efforts and traffic control, with drivers advised to use Vale do Canela.
• Local outlet A Tarde cited an initial, unconfirmed indication that a truck collision may have triggered the fall in Salvador.
