Aerial images of severe flooding in Arauco in Chile's Biobio region after heavy rains battered the centre and south of the country, killing one person and causing damage to hundreds of homes. Chile's weather service issued the highest level of alarm, covering some 14 million of the 20 million people living in six of the country's 16 regions, but this was later lifted as authorities said 80 percent of the storm had passed, and was headed for neighboring Argentina.
