The President of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, has promised $350m in aid to provide housing for victims of flash floods which have killed at least 57 people and destroyed some 100,000 homes.

Many victims drowned as they tried to scramble to safety on rooftops and treetops and some were electrocuted.

The government declared three days of national mourning after what it called "an unprecedented catastrophe".

1. "16 inches of rain fell on La Plata in a 2-hour span"

At first I thought this would be up river. No, it's further out along the Atlantic coast.

Very strange. That's a lot for two hours.
