Powerful gusts of wind swept through the provinces of Limón and Cartago in Costa Rica, causing significant damage and disruptions. In Limón, strong winds led to trees falling directly onto homes, resulting in property damage. Meanwhile, in Cartago, fallen branches blocked several roads, impeding traffic and causing transportation issues.

The National Emergency Commission (CNE) has been actively responding to the incidents. The commission reported that debris had fallen onto the route connecting Tucurrique and Cartago, necessitating its closure. The CNE is continuing to monitor the situation closely, assessing the extent of the damage and coordinating response efforts.

While the article focuses on the immediate impact of the severe weather, further details regarding the duration of the wind event or the specific number of homes affected were not provided. The CNE's ongoing assessment will likely provide a clearer picture of the full extent of the damage and the resources required for recovery efforts in the affected areas.
