Buenos Aires - More heavy rain triggered thousands of evacuations and flooding across five Argentine provinces on Wednesday, with at least one person dead and another missing.
A 78-year-old man was crushed to death by his falling house roof in the northern province of Santiago del Estero, where 1 000 people were evacuated, the local civil defense office told AFP.
In central Cordoba province, where intense rain caused nine deaths in February, some 2 000 people were evacuated and a 46-year-old man was missing after being swept away while crossing a canal on horse.
