More than 1.4 million residents in Brazil — São Paulo, Brazil, experienced a widespread power outage after strong winds, reaching 100 kilometers per hour, caused 231 trees to fall onto the city's electricity grid. The utility company Enel has been heavily criticized by Mayor Ricardo Nunes and residents for its slow response and perceived irresponsibility in restoring power. The outage led to the cancellation of almost 400 flights at Brazil — São Paulo–Congonhas Airport and São Paulo/Guarulhos International Airport, and also affected water services provided by Sabesp, as pumps were not working adequately.
