20 APRIL 1998. ARGENTINA: FLOODING

Reuters reports ten dead, 55,000 evacuated and over one-quarter million people affected by the worst flooding in Argentina since 1983, the last major EN event. Damage may exceed $2.5 billion. Heavy rain in in Brazil's Pantanal swamp may cause yet more flooding as the water drains south into Argentina.
