WATCH: Cars are swept away, drivers lose control, and one man desperately clings to a truck as flash floods tear through the streets of Chile's capital.
New surveillance video shows the frightening moment floodwaters surge through Santiago, carrying vehicles down flooded roads as heavy rainfall unleashes landslides across the region.
At least six people are injured, homes are flooded, and residents are being forced to evacuate as authorities declare a state of emergency in Las Condes.
Chileans are feeling the pinch as the cost of living rises, impacting even affordable foods like the completo, the country's version of the hot dog. https://t.co/qlwRSP8yjR
A 9/11 widow just rent rogue in NYC…
She read her husbands name and then called out Islamic terror and Saudi Arabia.
She called out Bush, Obama, Biden and JD Vance/Trump while they sat right in front of her. The entire crowd at ground zero cheered.
The Atacama Giant in Chile is the world's largest prehistoric human geoglyph, built around 1000–1400 AD. The 119m desert figure likely served as an astronomical calendar to track seasons, crops, and rainfall, and is culturally linked to the Andean creator deity Tunupa-Tarapaca.
Carved into the slopes of Cerro Unitas in Chile's Atacama Desert, the Atacama Giant stands approximately 119m tall, making it the largest known prehistoric anthropomorphic geoglyph in the world. Archaeologists believe it was created by indigenous Andean peoples between 1000-1400 AD, during a period when extensive trade networks connected communities across the Andes and Pacific coast.
Unlike Peru's Nazca Lines, which are famous for their geometric and animal designs, the Atacama Giant is thought to have had a practical as well as spiritual function. Some researchers propose that the figure's distinctive head ornaments and alignments may have been used to track the position of the moon and seasonal cycles, helping communities predict rainfall and determine the best times for planting and travel across one of the driest regions on Earth.
The geoglyph remains one of more than 5,000 known prehistoric earthworks discovered throughout the Atacama Desert, making the region one of the world's richest concentrations of ancient landscape art.
The Atacama Desert's extreme aridity, some areas receive less than 1 millimeter of rain annually, has preserved many geoglyphs for over a thousand years with remarkably little erosion.

Overwhelmed by the kind notes about the Android earthquake alerts in Venezuela. Thank you! I’m passing your kind words along to the incredible team behind the scenes who build this system.
We're grateful it could provide some help. Thinking of everyone in Venezuela right now.
@edoardojaviers Me carga la gente q agarra à la persona q se quiere desquitar legítimamente pegando un buen charchazo. Q se lo pegue y después se meta entre medio.
Your money is safer in Chile 🇨🇱 than in the U.S. 🇺🇸
US banks are legally required to hold 0% of your deposits.
Seriously…
Zero. Nothing. Nada.
Major Chilean banks hold nearly 2x what their regulators require… and it’s more than 0%.
When U.S. rates spiked in 2023…
depositors panicked and pulled their money.
Three American banks collapsed.
Chile hasn’t lost a single bank to a crisis since 1986.
Why?
They keep enough money on hand to fulfill withdrawals.
Who knew?
You have to go to Chile to experience responsible banking.
