Resumen:
In late May 2019, at least seven tornadoes were reported within a 24-hour period in16 Southern Chile (western South America, 36?38°S), including EF-1 and EF-2 events causing17 substantial damage to infrastructure, dozens of injuries, and one fatality. Despite anecdotal18 evidence and chronicles of similar historical events, the threat from tornadoes in Chile was19 regarded with skepticism until the 2019 outbreak.
