According to the president of CPFL Paulista, Rafael Lazzaretti, the collapse was mainly caused by the collapse of 34 transmission towers and 200 broken lighting posts. "There were 34 of these towers that fell due to the force of the winds, we need to restore them. The good news is that all the substations are already energized, so now it is more retail work, on the poles side, the impact was very big. We estimate, at least for now, we are finishing this count, but at least 200 poles are broken and will need reconstruction." Because of the damage, Taquaritinga and Ribeirão Preto declared a state of emergency for 180 days.
