Along with Jorge Memmel, they crossed the Paraná River to ask for help in the neighboring city of Posadas, Argentina, where no one knew about the tornado that moved through the area a short time prior. A student party was taking place at the provincial Government House, in which many Encarnacenos participated, and it was immediately suspended when the news was known; and the governor at the time, Héctor Barreyro, called for solidarity, bringing together teams of doctors, nurses and nuns. The families from Encarnación who were left homeless were housed in Posadas, blood banks were formed. The boats that were in the port of Posadas were mobilized to provide help, and the railroads became floating hospitals and improvised shelters.Se cumplen hoy 97 años del ciclón que azotó Encarnación https://www.elterritorio.com.ar/noticias/2023/09/20/804412-se-cumplen-hoy-97-anos-del-ciclon-que-azoto-encarnacion 2024-11-21 El Territorio es-AR In Asunción, the news was known at 5:45 a.m. the next day, through a telegram transmitted from Posadas and signed by the civil chief.
