The powerful storm, accompanied by wind gusts, caused damage in various parts of the country, leaving material losses in homes and vehicles.

Comandos de Salvamento went out to assist with removing trees that had fallen and obstructed roads in residential areas or main avenues of cities, such as in the Municipio of Nueva Guadalupe, San Miguel, where the winds toppled trees and some roofs of homes.

The affected areas include Colonia El Molino #2, where a small fire occurred; in Caserío La Bonanza, branches and trees fell due to the strong winds; in Barrio San Isidro, the roof of a home was destroyed; another tree fell onto a vehicle parked in front of the Hospital of Nueva Guadalupe.

Volunteers from the Sonsonate branch of Comandos de Salvamento were alerted about a tree that had fallen onto a car on Calle Acaxual, in Lomas de San Antonio.

Members of the Nejapa branch of Comandos de Salvamento went to Colonia Macance, where two trees were toppled by wind gusts, without causing personal injuries.

In Apopa, Comandos de Salvamento responded to a call about trees that had fallen in front of the Health Unit and at kilometer 13 of the Troncal del Norte highway, clearing the way for vehicle traffic in the area.

In Colonia Valle Verde #3, two families were affected because the roofs of homes 29 and 30 in Polígono 15, along pasaje 9 Sur, were almost completely destroyed, damaging their belongings.

In Cantón Sitio del Niño in San Juan Opico, trees were toppled, and Comandos de Salvamento of Ciudad Arce, together with other institutions, carried out their removal.
