Madly strong winds in Uruguay, including in the capital city, where many buildings have been EVACUATED (including the government building)!!! NOtice that building standards aren't very high there.
RED ALERT for all the coastal areas from the capital, Montevideo to the border with Brazil.

From Meteorological Agency of Uruguay: "RED ALERT fot Montevideo, Maldonado, CAnelones and Rocha: Extreme meteorological risk, exceptional intensity and very uncommon events, with very high level of danger for the population"

It must be remarked that the affected area is the richest and most populated area in Uruguay, so the human and economical consequences may be significant.
