Heavy rains flood Santiago, triggering mudslides and emergency

Torrential rain battered Santiago, Chile, on Thursday, triggering mudslides that swept cars through streets, flooded homes and hospitals, and injured at least six people, including a 1-year-old with broken bones. President José Antonio Kast declared a state of emergency for Las Condes, where 14.4 centimeters of rain fell — about nine times the October average. The Mapocho River overflowed, forcing evacuations; firefighters rescued over 1,000 people. No deaths were reported.
