Martínez, Argentina - December 23, 2025 A video posted on December 23, 2025, shows indoor flooding inside Unicenter Shopping, where heavy roof leaks turned an upper-level corridor into a shallow pool of water. The approximately 19-second vertical clip, filmed by X user Clint and shared as a contribution to a flooding discussion, captures water spreading across the polished floor on what appears to be the mall’s third level. In some areas, the water reaches ankle depth, forming a reflective surface across the tiles. Shoppers move cautiously through the flooded hallway amid pre-Christmas crowds. People carrying shopping bags navigate around the water while a staff member uses a green mop or squeegee to manage the flow and keep walkways accessible. Bright retail signage remains visible in the background despite the flooding, including a toy store sign reading “We Are The Toys,” colorful storefront displays, and a digital screen advertising a new bacon-and-cheese snack item. The scene highlights the chaos during peak holiday shopping hours. The footage is part of widespread viral videos from a sudden, localized storm that struck northern Greater Buenos Aires on the afternoon of December 23, 2025. Intense rainfall caused roof leaks mainly on Unicenter’s third level, flooding corridors and impacting several stores, including water pouring through light fixtures and partial ceiling collapses. Staff worked to manage the situation while restricting access to affected areas. Unicenter stated that the leaks were caused by an “unexpected and high-magnitude” weather event, emphasizing that visitor safety was prioritized while most operations remained open.
